Organisation Objective

To deliver high quality care that is safe, person and family centred, equitable and clinically effective which includes people partnering in their own healthcare. We aim to achieve this by gaining meaningful input from our community.

 

Community Participation

Kyabram District Health Service (KDHS) aims to have community members who are engaged in activities and committees across the organisation. Our Community and Cultural Governance committee is a sub-committee reporting to the KDHS Board. Their focus is to ensure the health service undertakes a comprehensive and consistent approach to informing the community of the effectiveness and value of its work. The Community and Cultural Governance Committee focus on providing opportunities for community members to shape the development and improvement of policy and strategies that influence the way in which services are planned and delivered.
