2021 Community Health Needs Survey ARCHIVED PAGE
Have your say about your health and accessing health care services.
Our 2021 Community Health Needs Survey is now closed.
Congratulations to the winners of the three $100 EFTPOS gift cards: C. Vu, R. Vella and Z. Shaffer. The winners have been contacted.
Thank you for your input. Your responses, and those of other people in our region, will be used to help us understand what health services are needed.
About the survey
One of our roles as a Primary Health Network (PHN) is to plan and fund health services that are needed in our region.
Every three years we complete a Health Needs Assessment. This involves looking at health data and talking with our local communities, health care organisations and other stakeholders to better understand the needs of people in our region.
Subscribe to our newsletters to find out when our next Health Needs Assessment is released.
Your answers help us to plan better health care in our region
The responses from this survey will be analysed along with:
- responses from another survey that will be sent to service providers and other organisations
- health data (for example, data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics, hospitals and general practices)
- consultations with community groups, service providers and peak organisations.
Our Reference Group (an internal working group) and our Community and Clinical Councils will review the data and discuss priority areas and how we might address these.
The report of all these findings becomes our Health Needs Assessment. We will use this to work with our communities and service providers to design and improve health services and activities.
