The Southern Adelaide Local Health Network (SALHN) has launched a program to determine how best to provide healthcare for its community in the next four years.
Unveiling the development of the SALHN Strategic Plan, the Network has opened its interest in contributions by its community, consumers, volunteers, staff and other key people to co-create a vision for the future together.
It said it was a bold and dynamic organisation that delivered healthcare to more than 350,000 people living mainly in southern Adelaide and also caring for people from regional SA, NT and NSW.
“The health care environment has changed since we developed our last Strategic Plan in 2019, and we are undertaking an important piece of work to refresh it,” the Network said.
“A Strategic Direction provides a clear vision and direction for an organisation and refreshing our plan will help us to improve the health care we deliver,” it said.
“It will allow us to deliver care differently and in a way that meets the needs of our consumers and supports our upcoming plans such as important infrastructure builds as part of the Southern Redevelopment Stage 1.”
The Network said it had facilitated public forums with consumers, communities and organisations as well as targeted consultations with the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander sector; Aged care sector; Culturally and Linguistically Diverse sector; and the Disability sector.
“A broader consultation process via YourSAy provides the opportunity for many others to voice their thoughts and ideas,” it said.
It said it would be requesting the public’s input at various stages throughout the project to inform the SALHN Strategic Direction 2023-2027.
“During our first stage you can get involved in the following ways,” it said.
“Read the Draft Strategic Direction in the SALHN Strategic Direction, Complete the short survey and email [email protected].”
“We will be launching the SALHN Strategic Direction 2023-2027 later this year, until then we will be engaging with our consumers and community and considering your feedback.”
