Southern Flinders Health Advisory Council

The aim of the Southern Flinders Health Advisory Council is to provide an appropriate range of services that are coordinated, cost effective, flexible and responsive to community Need. Our focus over the last few years has been the enhancement of community based and aged care services, particularly in the community and home environment.

We are the health FACE for our community.

Our role is to:

Facilitate discussion in our community about health issues, priorities and needs.
Advise and advocate on behalf of the community
Communicate and consult with the community and with Country Health SA on behalf of the community.
Engage with the community and evaluate progress.

Southern Finders Health Advisory Council also holds accounts for the Health services in Crystal Brook, Gladstone and Laura, for receipt of donations and bequests.

Southern Flinders Health is a Multi Purpose Service which aims to provide flexibility in the provision of aged care services.

Southern Flinders Health also provides women with comprehensive maternal care throughout pregnancy, birth and post-natally through an innovative model of care.
