WNSW PHN Advisory Councils
Western NSW Primary Health Network (WNSW PHN) has established five Advisory Councils which each report through to the Board. The Councils assist the organisation set strategic direction, evaluate outcomes of services and support the design of new services to meet the needs of local communities.
Clinical Councils provide support and advice to the Board on opportunities to further develop clinical services to meet community needs.
Community Councils support WNSW PHN to understand and address health needs within local communities, including access to services and service gaps.
The Aboriginal Health Council supports WNSW PHN to understand locally relevant Aboriginal Community perspectives in relation to their unique health needs, access to services and service gaps.
