An evaluation of the Primary Care Enhancement Program (PCEP) pilot in 2024. The PCEP is an initiative under the National Roadmap for Improving the Health of People with Intellectual Disability and aims to increase the skills and ability of GPs and other health professionals to deliver effective health care; for people with intellectual disability; and improve the health literacy of people with intellectual disability. 

The evaluation found overall the PCEP pilot has led to improved knowledge, confidence and skills of the primary care providers and other stakeholders who received training and support from the Primary Health Networks (PHNs). Delayed implementation of the PCEP and the time necessary to establish local program activities in each of the PHN regions, impacted the evaluation timeline and the data available for this evaluation. There were also limitations in evaluation data collection due to low engagement and response rates from primary care providers.
