Community Advisory Committee
Community Advisory Committee
The Community Advisory Committee (CAC) is a committee of the Great Ocean Road Health Board. The CAC comprises community representatives from the GORH catchment area as well as representatives from the Lorne Op Shop, the Apollo Bay and District Health Foundation, GORH staff and at least two Board members.
This committee is an important liaison point between the health service and the community, and seeks to provide direction and leadership in relation to the integration of community views into the local health service.
The CAC meets 4 times per year. The meetings provide an opportunity for two-way communication between the community representatives and the health service, where both community news and health service updates are shared and discussed.
Community members are invited to provide feedback to the CAC community representatives in relation to the health service. To contact the CAC email: cac@gorh.vic.gov.au
The CAC welcomes new members. If you would like to apply to become a community representative on the CAC, please provide a letter of application which addresses:
- How you can contribute specialist knowledge and expertise by providing consumer, carer and community perspectives.
- How you are active in the community, with strong community networks and a sound understanding of local or regional issues.
- Your capacity to reflect on and present community issues, rather than focusing on personal concerns or individual issues.
