Community consultations on draft Norfolk Island Health Service Plan

In line with the Australian Government’s commitment to engaging with the Norfolk Island community on the delivery of health and aged care services, KPMG will be returning to the island to continue engagement on the 2019 Draft Norfolk Island Health Service Plan (the 2019 Draft Plan).

Extensive consultation was carried out across the community and was critical in the development of the Draft Plan that provides practical ideas to feed more local data and knowledge into decision-making.

KPMG will be meeting with stakeholders from health and community service providers as well as representatives from the Norfolk Island Regional Council.

Members of the community will also be able to provide feedback through drop-in sessions, and topic group discussions. People can register their interest for topic groups through the Office of the Administrator on either 22152 or 22398. I strongly encourage you to continue the ongoing discussion by providing your views at one of the upcoming sessions.

Drop-in sessions:
WHERE: No. 11 Quality Row
WHEN: Wednesday, 4 March from 2-6pm and Thursday, 5 March from 8am-12pm.

The 2019 Draft Plan and Consultation Report can be found at: www.regional.gov.au/territories/norfolk_island/norfolk_island_health_services/norfolk_island_health_service_plan.aspx. Community submissions are welcome, with the consultation period concluding on 31 March 2020. Written comment can be provided to NIhealthserviceplan@infrastructure.gov.au.

Anyone with questions or requiring any additional information can contact the Office of the Administrator on office.administrator@regional.gov.au or phone 22152 or send an email to the Department at: NIhealthserviceplan@infrastructure.gov.au.
