About our Community Advisory Committees

Our Community Advisory Committees provide the Board of the Primary Health Network (PHN) with a community perspective on how we can improve the health and wellness of people living in our region. They are made up of members with active community networks who are able to provide the advice, feedback, community perspective and context which helps to shape our funding of programs and services. Members assist in prioritising identified health issues and contribute to developing strategies that will lead to more effective and sustainable health outcomes for their local communities. The Community Advisory Committees advise the PHN on a variety of topics such as the PHN’s Strategic Plan, regional health priorities, primary mental health services, the primary care response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and most recently aged care and palliative care services in the community. Community Advisory Committees are also provided the opportunity to raise primary health care issues to the PHN Board and Executive for further consideration.

Three community advisory committees cover the sub-regions of:

  • Central Coast
  • Hunter Manning
  • New England North West

Further details about the work of the PHN can be found on our website

What is the commitment?

Members are required to attend quarterly meetings either at their local PHN office (located in Erina, Newcastle & Tamworth) or via a videoconference link. These meetings are held during the day from 10am until 2pm and are remunerated at a flat rate of $300 plus GST.

Ongoing engagement occurs between meetings through requests for participation in a range of targeted PHN consultations. Examples include input into service design development or assisting with the review of tender applications from service providers.

Membership tenure is three years with option to extend.
