Community Hubs
The CAHS Community Hubs are purpose-built facilities bringing together CAHS community-based services including child health, child development, immunisation and mental health services under one roof.
Each Hub aims to provide a ‘one-stop shop’ for universal, targeted and specialised service provision for CAHS consumers, within a specific geographical region. The Hubs are supported by a network of smaller facilities in the local community, called spokes, which give families the option of also accessing services closer to home.
The co-location of CAHS services will support coordinated, seamless, child-centered care using a collaborative approach to service delivery, making it easier for children, young people and families to access the support they need.
The hubs and spokes will be culturally secure and welcoming for Aboriginal and culturally and linguistically diverse people, and for all children and families in the local areas in which they operate.
The Community Hubs project kicked off in September 2019 with the Midland Hub, which was an outcome of the Sustainable Health Review. The opportunity for the Murdoch Hub followed in December 2020 and we are working towards opening both Hubs in 2024.
Community consultation is an integral and ongoing process in developing the infrastructure requirements and service delivery model for the hubs. CAHS has consulted with internal and external stakeholders, including a number of consumer groups, youth-specific service providers and Aboriginal families to ensure that services and facilities are culturally safe, accessible and inclusive for all consumers.
Seeking consumer feedback – share your voice
We are now in the next phase of consumer engagement and are looking for up to 15 young people, parents/or carers who are passionate about improving care in the community to provide ongoing practical feedback and strategic advice.
This is a chance for local consumers in the Midland and Murdoch Community Health zones to get involved and have their voices heard.
