Primary health Exchange
Primary Health Exchange is WAPHA’s online consultation hub – an online community engagement website which allows people to have their say on projects and share their thoughts on the planning and design of primary health care in WA.
Primary Health Exchange is designed to support and encourage people to get involved in the planning of local primary health care in WA to ensure we commission the right services in the right place.
Community
Our community engagement framework is a comprehensive and well considered process for the participation of local communities in policy development, planning and service delivery.
We recognise that engagement is an ongoing process and adopt the principles of the engagement cycle, a representational model that highlights who needs to what to engage patients, consumers, the community and stakeholder at each stage of the commissioning cycle.
