Geographic area (postcodes serviced within the Perth metropolitan area and regional WA as defined by Metropolitan Regional Health Service catchment boundaries). Respondents may submit their Offer for any or all service types. Respondents may submit an Offer for the provision of IHP services in metropolitan and/or regional areas.
