Help the GRPHU better engage with the community
Gippslanders have the chance to have their say on how the region’s local public health unit can better communicate with community.
The Gippsland Region Public Health Unit (GRPHU) has developed a draft Community Participation and Engagement Plan with the aim to better engage and communicate for a healthier Gippsland.
The GRPHU developed the draft plan by gathering feedback at local events, surveys, face-to-face conversations, and looking at the engagement plans from other organisations.
The draft plan is highlighting four key focus areas:
- Structure and process
- Culture and shared capacity building
- Meaningful engagement
- Communication
But now we need your help to make sure we are heading in the right direction.
We will be keeping the community posted in how we are progressing with this plan on our website, with a formal review to be scheduled for 2027.
GRPHU works in partnership with local communities on a range of place-based public actions including managing notifiable diseases, chronic disease prevention, health promotion, environmental health, and emergency management.
