In Victoria, Australia, primary healthcare partnerships (PCP’s) and community service organizations (CSO’s) are uniquely situated to address climate adaptation, identify vulnerable individuals and groups affected by climate change, and to promote climate justice and local community resilience. However, interviews with PCP’s and CSO’s indicate a lack of resources and guidance, including accessible information on climate adaptation action and climate change impacts.
