Community Health – How well are we doing?

  • Give your family great, safe care.
  • Share some of our goals / targets for our health service.
  • Measure how we are doing to improve our services.
  • Share some of your feedback about our health service.
  • Demonstrate we are listening to your feedback.

We want to communicate better with you and your family. We want you to know how to give us feedback. Go to Compliments and Complaints at our website for more information.

We listened to your feedback.

You told us some families didn't know how to give feedback, so we have published new posters and postcards for our Community Health sites in June and July 2024.

The posters ask for your feedback. The posters say ‘Tell us if you are happy with our service or how can we make it better.’

One poster on how to give us feedback has information in the 10 most common languages used in Western Australia. 

We have received more compliments since publishing the new posters and postcards. Thanks for the feedback.
