The Northern NSW Local Health District (NNSWLHD) is searching for community members to join health advisory groups and share the advice and feedback to the local health service.
These advisory groups will ensure health services are being delivered adequately for communities in the region and any improvements are noted.
Groups have thus far been established in Ballina, Byron, Casino, Grafton, Lismore, Maclean, Murwillumbah, tweed and the Multi Purpose Service network (Bonalbo, Kyogle, Nimbin, Urbenville).
The NNSWLHD are looking for a wide range of backgrounds and experience, valuing contributions from patients, carers and other communities to help build better services across the region for a healthier community.
Members will participate in a range of activities including reviewing patient information, filling out surveys, auditing signage, recruitment panels for senior roles and a focus group. NNSWLHD would like members to represent the diversity of the Northern NSW community and strongly encourage applications from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
Applicants will need to fill out an expression of interest and will undergo screening.
Expressions of interest are now open. Register or find out more here: https://nnswlhd.health.nsw.gov.au/blog/2022/07/05/community-members-needed-for-health-advisory-groups/
