Share your lived experience to improve health care in our community

The Community Advisory Council (CAC) is a forum for consumers who represent the diverse Gold Coast community. No special education or qualifications are necessary - just your first-hand experience with the Gold Coast Health System.

Health care professionals and people working in health or community services, we have other councils for you. More information can be found here.

The CAC provides advice and recommendations from the community perspective to the Gold Coast Primary Health Network (GCPHN) Board.

Your first-hand experiences will guide the impact of a broad range of local health initiatives across mental health, older people, patient experience, cancer screening and more.

What will you do?

  • Share personal experience as a consumer of health services on the Gold Coast.

  • Attend meetings on a Friday every second month

  • Complete occasional pre-meeting reading and provide written post-meeting feedback

  • Be paid for your time
