Your voice is important to us
Consumer, Carer and Community advisory panels are an important part of our work at Grand Pacific Health (GPH).
The input from our panels makes sure the consumer’s voice is woven through the work we do and how we go about it. Representatives are invited to share valuable input on local issues affecting consumers and their carers in our local community, reflect on consumer experiences and, importantly, be a voice for the community to support decisions and planning at GPH.
Who is this for?
- Consumers who have used a GPH Program (or another program in the community)
- Carers who have supported a loved one that has taken part in a GPH program or another in the community.
- A member of the community that has an interest in consumer advocacy or already is involved in this work.
What do I do?
Meet every three months as a group either online or in person at one of our offices across NSW. These meetings last for approximately 3 hours, with a break in the middle. Before the meetings, you may need to read materials sent to you before the meeting, allowing about an hour for this.
Is being involved a volunteer position?
Yes, but your time at the meeting, your travel time, and one hour in preparation for this will be paid at a rate of $38 an hour.
How do I join?
If you are interested, please reach out to the team at GPH using the number below. We will contact you and arrange a time to talk with you over the phone, so you can ask any questions.
