Consumer and Community Participation


At Northern Health, we value the voice of our community and welcome a consumer perspective. 

We are committed to the continuous improvement of our processes. Your contribution will help us improve the experience of our patients and the quality of care we provide to them.

Whether youโ€™re a patient, carer or student, if you are interested in the quality of health care and the services Northern Health provides, we would like to hear from you.


Being involved with our committees and groups is a great way to have your say and meet other like-minded community members. Itโ€™s also an opportunity to learn more and contribute to your local health service.

You donโ€™t have to be involved in a continuous role. You are welcome to come along to one of our open community meetings to tell us what matters to you and your community.


Join Us

โ€œOur consumer representatives are highly valued team members. They highlight what matters most to our local community in providing the best patient care.โ€ โ€“ Rachael (Northern Health Dietitian)
