Among the first tasks arising from this Action Plan has been the establishment of the Coffs Health and Wellbeing Network, which includes a number of small and focused working groups.
One of these working groups quickly identified that a key area that required attention was the attraction and retention of health professionals. Because a website has the largest reach, it was decided to develop this Coffs Coast Health website for this purpose, encompassing Coffs Harbour and surrounding towns such as Woolgoolga, Sawtell and Bellingen.
The Economic Development Unit of Coffs Harbour City Council supported the design and development of this website with the working group advising on content, practicality and usability.
The Economic Development Unit would like to thank the following people for their contribution and support:
- Margaret Bennett, North Coast Area Health Service
- Stephanie Burnip, Southern Cross University
- Colleen Cartwright, ASLaRC
- Gillian Gould, UNSW Rural Clinical School
- Helena Johnson, Mid North Coast Division of General Practice
- Jan Johnson, Sawtell Catholic Care of the Aged
- Steve Little, Colliers
- Karyn O’Reilly, North Coast TAFE
- Charlie O’Sullivan, Locums PRN
- Elizabeth Ruthnam, Baringa Private Hospital
- Peter Spence, Mid North Coast Division of General Practice
