The CAC have recently been asked to contribute to a number of other project committees including:
- Division 2 ESOP – Medication Administration Project
- Health Promotion committee
Consumer involvement ensures that accessible health care services are of a high quality and responsive to the needs of the community. If you are undertaking new projects or developing policies that impact on services, it may be worthwhile to engage with the CAC. The Community Relations Department have access to a community register which details community members who may be interested in getting involved in your project. Contact the Community Relations Department on 9895 3243 for further information or email community.relations@easternhealth.org.au .
