Far North Health Advisory Council

The Far North Health Advisory Council (HAC) covers both Coober Pedy and Oodnadatta.

A major role of the Far North Health Advisory Council is to relay ideas and views from the Community to the local Health Service. These ideas are used in planning for new and improved services.

It also provides advice to the Minister for Health and Wellbeing on matters outside of the local area affecting residents of the Far North of SA, and advocates on behalf of the community to promote the health interests of the community.

The Far North Health Advisory Council holds accounts for the hospitals/health services for receipt of donations and bequests.
