About the District Health Advisory Councils

District Health Advisory Councils (DHACs) are groups of community members passionate about supporting their local health services. These groups provide information, ideas, and advice to ensure that services can meet the needs and preferences of the people who use them.

The Chair of each DHAC is represented on a WA Country Health Service (WACHS) forum which meet face-to-face at least once a year to examine and discuss issues across rural and remote communities from a consumer and community perspective.
