VRHN Strategic Plan 2022-2024
Have your say. Your voice is important!
The Victorian Refugee Health Network (VRHN) is developing a new strategic plan. The Network helps health and community services deliver accessible and appropriate care for people who are, or have been, refugees or asylum seekers.
To inform the strategic plan, we will select 30 people to discuss issues and ideas, and make recommendations. We are asking for people who have experience as a refugee or asylum seeker, as well as people who work at any level within the refugee health sector. Participants are not expected to be experts in strategic planning or to represent their communities, we want to hear each persons unique experience. All the information and support that you need to participate will be provided.
Participants will attend three workshops in the Melbourne CBD (city) to hear information, discuss priorities and develop recommendations for the new VRHN strategic plan.
Participants will be paid $200 for each session (for those not attending in a work capacity). If you are selected, The Network will be in contact with you to discuss any ways we can support you to participate.
The proposed workshop dates are:
Wednesday June 15 9:30am-3pm
Tuesday June 21 9:30am-3pm
Wednesday June 22 9:30am-3pm
If you would like to be part of these workshops, please express interest by clicking on the link below.
Expressions of Interest will close midnight Thursday 2 June 2022
If you would like a call back (including with an interpreter) please contact VRHN: refugeehealth@foundationhouse.org.au
