NORTHEAST Health Wangaratta (NHW) is inviting community members to have their say in shaping the future of healthcare services in our region.
As part of the development of the NHW 2025 - 2028 Strategic Plan, it is launching a comprehensive community consultation process to gather valuable insights and feedback.
“NHW is committed to delivering high-quality, accessible healthcare services that meet the needs of our community,” NHW CEO Libby Fifis said.
“To achieve this, we are encouraging the community to participate in our engagement activities, including an online survey and in-person listening posts.
The survey is opened until 17 April and can be completed by visiting: northeasthealth.org.au/have-your-say

Listening posts also kicked off this week, with the first session held at the Wangaratta Library on Thursday.
There are another two sessions in Wangaratta, at the Wangaratta Sports and Aquatic Centre on Thursday, 20 March, from 3.30pm to 5.30pm, and at Batchelors Green Park
on Saturday, 22 March, from 10am to 12pm.
Sessions are also being held in Beechworth, Myrtleford, Bright and Mansfield, as the region is included within NHW's service area.
Ms Fifis said the consultation process is an opportunity to voice needs, concerns, and ideas to improve service accessibility and quality.
"NHW values a diverse range of perspectives, including those of First Nations communities, healthcare professionals, local businesses, and community groups," she said.
“We want to hear from as many people as possible to ensure our strategic plan truly reflects the needs and priorities of the community we serve.
“Every voice matters, and we encourage everyone to take part in this important consultation process.”
