Health Information
Our health information is designed to provide consumers with important information about our services or particular health topics that relate to services we provide. Each piece of information goes through a thorough process of review including assessment against the Department of Health’s Well Written Health Information Guide Checklist.
All new brochures are reviewed by our Community Advisory Committee with all existing brochures being reviewed by the Committee as they become due for update.
