Eastern Health is committed to being a health service where consumers, patients, carers, families and our diverse community are meaningfully and equitably involved, heard, valued, respected, supported and empowered as partners in care. Underpinned by our value of ‘partnering in care’, our Community Participation Plan describes how our staff, consumers and the community will together build on the existing community participation foundations to guide Eastern Health to continue to strengthen community participation and further embed the consumer voice into everything we do at Eastern Health.
