Area Health Advisory Council (AHAC)
Clinician and community involvement in health system governance will be strengthened at a local level through the formation of the HNE Health Advisory Council. The HNE Health Advisory Council will be established to give doctors, nurses, allied health workers and local communities more say in how local health services are provided.
The Council will advise the Area Chief Executive and is intended to strengthen clinical and community involvement in the planning and delivery of health services.
The establishment of the Area Health Advisory Council is intended to build on existing consumer and community participation structures at a local level and not replace them.
The HNE Health Advisory Council will be established under the Health Services Act 1997. Members will be appointed by the Minister for Health. Meetings of the Advisory Council will be attended by the Area Chief Executive.
