Are you a primary care clinician living and working on the Central Coast with a desire to help improve the health and wellbeing of the local community?

The Primary Health Network invites expressions of interest from suitably qualified primary health care professionals to join its Central Coast Clinical Council.

In doing so, you will have the opportunity to help shape the future of primary care on the Coast and influence policy to improve health outcomes for the local population.

About the Clinical Councils

The Clinical Councils provide the Board of the Hunter New England Central Coast Primary Health Network with locally relevant perspectives on clinical issues that impact on the unique needs of our local communities.

Three Clinical Councils represent our regional footprint, ensuring locally relevant responses to ongoing and emerging health and wellbeing concerns:

  • Central Coast
  • Hunter Manning
  • New England North West

Clinical Councils are GP-led and include members from a cross section of primary health care, representing a variety of practice settings, experiences, expertise, and disciplines. A PHN Board member representative also sits on each Council and is tasked with reporting recommendations and issues to the Board for consideration.

Since being established in 2016, the PHN Clinical Councils have contributed expertise and advice on a variety of topics including the PHN’s Strategic Plan, regional health priorities, primary mental health services, workforce issues, and emerging public health concerns. For example, Clinical Councils were instrumental in guiding the primary care response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

What is the commitment?

Members are required to attend quarterly meetings at their local PHN office held in the evening from 6.30pm to 9.00pm and are remunerated at a flat rate of $300 plus GST.

Ongoing engagement occurs in 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.
