About Us » Consumer Advisory Committee

Consumer Advisory Committee

Your Community Health has a Consumer Advisory Committee to bring the voice and experience of consumers, carers and the community into Your Community Health’s decision making and governance.

Our Consumer Advisory Committee provides input, advice and feedback to inform and improve our services.

Including Consumer voices in our planning and decision making is a way to ensure that our services encompass community need, that our community feels safe and secure when accessing our services, and that they can be confident in the quality of care provided. Our Consumer Advisory Committee also provide important insights into the cultural and social contexts of that community that our service works within.

The Community Advisory Committee is just one way that consumers have a voice and input into Your Community Health. Our Committee includes community members as well as Your Community Health staff.

Community Advisory Committee Members for 2022 include:

In 2010 Nikayla was crowned Miss NAIDOC.
