becoming a community advisor
cohealth has several groups of volunteers from the community including regional advisory committees as well as special interest groups. Our community advisors play an important role in representing communities, and are passionate about building a strong and connected health service.
Meetings are held bimonthly or quarterly, and provide a safe and inclusive space for community members to have a say in health decisions that affect them. To apply to join one of our community advisory groups, please fill in the online form below, or print and complete the form attached and post to us.
speaking out for good health
To improve health for all, cohealth speaks out about the things that create (or take away from) health. We speak up about poverty, housing, discrimination, prisons and many other issues that our communities say matter to them.
We speak to people in power; join groups and work together; share stories about how issues and systems affect people; and are visible on issues that affect people’s health.
Making our health and social systems better and addressing these issues will only be successful if the solutions we speak up about are informed by the people who the issues affect. So join us in this advocacy work – have your voice heard on issues that are important to you; defend or safeguard your rights; put forth views about decisions that affect your life, and let’s make positive change together.
If you or someone in the community that you know would like to contribute to our advocacy work, please complete the EOI Advocacy form to tell us about your area/s of interest, and send it to us.
Your information will be kept confidential, held securely by cohealth and not passed on to any third party without your consent.
