Our Aboriginal Health Expert Advisory Group provides community voice, expertise and advice. This group helps NWMPHN align its structures, capacity and values to meet the needs of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities in our region. The group has a focus on informing commissioning intentions and operational activities including service design with a focus on safety, quality, and integration.
North Western Melbourne Primary Health Network regularly consults with experts working in the primary health care sector. We thank all our Expert Advisory Group (EAG) members for their time and commitment to working with us to improve the health of our community.
