Gippsland Primary Health Network (PHN) is seeking expressions of interest for Community Advisory Committee members to commence from 1 July 2025, for a three-year term.
A key component of Gippsland PHN’s governance is the establishment of a Community Advisory Committee, providing community perspective to ensure decisions, investments, and innovations are patient-centred, cost-effective, locally relevant and aligned to local care experiences and expectations.

The Committee meets at least quarterly and additionally if necessary. Sitting fees will be paid to all members.
