Community consultative committees have been established to provide a forum for members of each local community to participate in the planning and development of their community hospital through open dialogue and consultation.
Each consultative committee includes:
foundation members from key organisations such as local councils, health service providers and Aboriginal representation where possible
community members selected through an independent expression of interest process and a limited number of invited community members.
Summaries of the committee meetings held so far can be found below. Depending on project requirements, some committees have also been invited to provide feedback between meetings to ensure input into important phases of planning for their community hospital.
Local communities will have the chance to shape the care and services delivered by their community hospital with the establishment of community consultative committees for the program.
