The Yorke Peninsula Health Advisory Council (HAC) came into being on 1st July 2008, after the State Government’s Health Care Act 2008 removed the governance of local hospitals from local boards and established Health Advisory Councils to represent local communities.
The ownership of the property of the hospitals and aged care facilities is vested in the Health Advisory Council. It also manages funds donated or raised by the community, for use at the facilities.
The Health Advisory Council seeks to represent community needs to Country Health SA or the Minister for Health, and where necessary advocate for improvements.
The Yorke Peninsula Health Advisory Council can include:
Presiding member - Fraser Ellis
Local member of Parliament - Fraser Ellis
Local government nominee - Tania Stock
Medical practitioner representative - N/A
Staff representative - Abbie Bray
Community representatives
When: 1st Tuesday of the month
Time: 10:00 am
