Qld Community Health Councils

Queensland Health Minister, Stephen Robertson, has appointed community members to 36 new Health Community Councils around the state.

He made the appointments following recommendations from the independent Health Quality and Complaints Commission. The new advisory bodies replace the former district health councils and give communities a more direct say in the performance and quality of local health services.

Mr Robertson said the new councils would offer a strong link between Queensland Health and local communities.

“Members will bring a strong community perspective on the quality and safety of local public health services,” he said. “They will also assist with community education about the health system.”

Members include small business owners, retirees, local government representatives, farmers and graziers, plus people with backgrounds in nursing as well as advocacy in areas such as disability services, mental health and maternity services.

A complete list of membership of the 36 Health Community Councils is available under What’s New on the website www.health.qld gov.au
