Call for Expressions of Interest for Community Representatives (2) –

Cunderdin Project User Group

 

Following the resignations of two (2) community members from the Cunderdin Primary Health Care Demonstration Site Project user Group, Council is seeking Expressions of Interest for two Community Representatives on the PUG.  Council is looking for representatives that:

  • demonstrate understanding of the need for health reforms and the changing focus of health service delivery models
  • work well in a team environment
  • demonstrate critical thinking and planning skills
  • have good communication skills
  • show strong community links (through team / group / organisation) and ability to communicate community group’s perspective.

Background

In October / November 2013 the Shire of Cunderdin and WA Country Health Service (WACHS) signed a Memorandum of Understanding to work towards establishing a Primary Health Care Centre in Cunderdin.

The Memorandum of Understanding required the formation of a Project User Group (PUG), in consultation with the Shire and WACHS.  The formation of the group is five community representatives (3 Cunderdin, 1 Meckering & 1 Tammin) and representatives from Shire of Cunderdin and WACHS.  The role of the PUG is to act as the principle communication, consultation and engagement group on service planning and project development.  Recommendations from this group will be referred to WACHS and the Shire for consideration.

Further information about the Project User Group member’s roles and responsibilities can be obtained from the Cunderdin Primary Health Care Demonstration Site Terms of Reference document, available at Shire of Cunderdin office or Cunderdin Hospital.

If you would like to be considered for membership, please complete the Nomination form (which includes answering selection criteria) available from the Shire of Cunderdin office or Cunderdin Hospital.

Nominations will close at 4:00pm on Friday 3rd February 2017 with new members announced by the end of February 2017.
