The CAC is an official GV Health strategic advisory committee reporting to the GV Health board.

Made up of 12 community members, along with representatives from GV Health, the CAC provides the community with a voice to help improve health and wellbeing outcomes.

“After serving on the committee for four years, I can say from experience this is an invaluable opportunity to make a real, meaningful contribution to GV Health’s mission as we work to grow an outstanding healthcare environment in our region,” committee chair Simon Humphrey said.

“We’re calling on applicants from every background and walk of life to put themselves forward and contribute to the rewarding work of the committee over the coming years.”

CAC members are appointed voluntarily for a term of three years, with the opportunity for a further two years.

Applicants must be over 16 years of age and may be current, previous or potential patients of GV Health or a carer or family member of someone who uses GV Health’s services.

Meetings are held bi-monthly, with a total of six meetings per year.

Contact GV Health consumer experience co-ordinator Katie Clavarino at consumerpartners@gvhealth.org.au or on 5832 2258 to receive an application pack.

Applications close on Friday, March 15.
