Work with us to improve your health service!
At Swan Hill District Health we want to deliver our vision of connected care, best experience to all our consumers and the broader community we serve. We cannot effectively do that without meaningful input from those very consumers and our community.
We therefore aim to create opportunities for our consumers and community to engage with SHDH to help us achieve our vision. We know that by engaging our community we can deliver better outcomes.
Swan Hill District Health is committed to fulfilling the principles and requirements of the National Safety and Quality Health Standards – Standard 2 Partnering with Consumers. If you would like to learn more about this Standard, to which all health services are assessed, please visit the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care website.
