Meet your new Melton Hospital community consultative committee

We’re pleased to announce that a community consultative committee for the New Melton Hospital Project has been appointed.

The committee will provide a forum for members of the local community to participate in the project’s ongoing planning through open dialogue and consultation.

Chaired by Steve McGhie MP, Member for Melton, the committee will work with our project team, Western Health and Melton City Council to shape the future of the hospital.

Members have been selected across gender, age, interests and background to ensure a diverse representation. The group will provide their local knowledge and perspective. This will help ensure the hospital meets the needs of the community for years to come.
