Voices4Health is a way for the CESPHN to engage with the community it serves.
Central and Eastern Sydney Primary Health Network (CESPHN) is a not-for profit organisation funded by the Federal government to respond to health needs and health service gaps in the area. We work in partnership with all areas of the health system to improve outcomes for community members. This might mean funding services that can fill a gap, such as a mental health service to meet the needs of young people or training local doctors to stay up to date with the latest technology.
voices4health is the place where people living in central and eastern Sydney can contribute to decision-making about health needs and services in the area where they live. This is a place where you can register to have your say about health needs and health services and find out about other community consultation opportunities.
