Review of Community Health Services in NSW

Updated: 28 August 2008
The NSW Department of Health Management Board gave formal support to a Review of Community Health Services in NSW and endorsed the Terms of Reference in late 2007. As part of the review process, advice will be sought from a range of key stakeholders.

Overview

The review will include an examination of linkages between NSW Health community health services and other primary and community health providers, including NGOs. NCOSS will be assisting NSW Health with the review. Information on the review will be made available on the NCOSS website as it becomes available. The timeline for the review is March 2008 to May 2009.

NCOSS Consultation, 1 September 2008

NSW Health has engaged consultants from the Centre for Health Service Development at the University of Wollongong to undertake a review of NSW Health operated community health services.

In order to facilitate input into the review, NCOSS will hold a Community Health Review Consultation for NGOs:
