Aboriginal Consumer and Community Engagement
Learn about our consumer groups and committees, that help us build meaningful relationships and deliver culturally safe care.
Shared relationships and Aboriginal Community engagement help us to ensure high quality services, that meet the needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and community expectations.
Aboriginal consumer involvement allows us to have ongoing conversations with community about the planning, designing, monitoring and delivery of quality care, across our network, to Aboriginal patients and families.
We value these relationships and the meaningful involvement that these groups and committees provide, as an essential part of strengthening trust in CALHN now and into the future.
