Lived Experience Workforce Conference
8th & 9th May 2019 - Victoria Park, Brisbane

Gold Coast PHN is an independent not-for-profit commissioning organisation funded by the Commonwealth Department of Health to improve the health outcomes of the region.

We identify where there are areas of need, such as lack of health care services, difficulty in accessing these services, or regions with particularly high health needs, and work closely with GPs, allied health care providers, hospitals and the broader community to ensure patients can receive the right care in the right place at the right time.

Gold Coast PHN is offering 6 scholarship registrations to Dialogue 2019, for people in the region in a mental health role (paid or unpaid) which requires you to use your lived experience of recovery.  Dialogue is a Lived Experience Workforce Conference being hosted by Brook RED on Wednesday 8th & Thursday 9th May 2019.
