Central Coast Voice for Health
Central Coast Voice for Health was formed to guide the implementation of the Central Coast Health and Wellbeing Action Plan as a part of the Tasmanian Government funded Health and Wellbeing Network Project. They worked to ensure that the priorities identified by the community through consultation were translated into action. The group supported collaboration between residents, community organisations, health services and other local stakeholders to advance a range of initiatives aimed at improving health and wellbeing across the region. Although the group has now completed its role, the relationships, projects and momentum generated through this work continue to support positive change in the Central Coast community.
