Our governance and partners

The whole is greater than the sum of its parts - implementation and success measurement

Collaborative system working approach:

• When organisations and people collaborate effectively, they are able to co-create value that would have otherwise been untapped.
• Effective collaboration enables maximisation of outcomes from the resources available.
• When organisations and individuals from across a regional health system work in partnership to design and improve health services, they can better ensure people receive the right care at the right place at the right time.
• Collaborative system working is characterised by shared decision making and a ‘one system’ mindset.

The governance framework 

Consists of tiers of governance:

1. CEO forum from state and federal funding partners.

5. Stakeholder collaborative partnership representative groups with first nations membership embedded consisting of:
