Latrobe Community Health Service (LCHS)

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​At Latrobe Community Health Service, we want to have meaningful relationships with First Nations communities. We aim to deliver services that reflect the needs of First Nations people across Victoria and New South Wales. We are committed to cultural safety. All of our services are available to First Nations community members. And to make sure our organisation is culturally safe and welcoming, we talk to local Elders and community members for their advice and guidance.

At Latrobe Community Health Service, we:

  • Recognise and celebrate significant events
  • Look to improve outcomes for First Nations communities through our First Nations Health and Wellbeing Strategy
  • Train our staff in First Nations cultural safety
  • Seek advice from First Nations community members in the Latrobe Valley who are part of our First Nations Advisory Group.

We have a dedicated First Nations Liaison Officer, which is a free service to support all First Nations people who live in Gippsland. The Liaison Officer helps you get safe and welcoming healthcare by:

  • Helping you find and access health services at LCHS.
  • Supporting you to book, understand and attend appointments.
  • Helping you understand health information and advocating for your needs.
  • Providing free transport to and from appointments.
  • Making sure your care is culturally safe and respectful.

The Liaison Officer works with LCHS teams to help make healthcare culturally safe, respectful and welcoming.

The First Nations Liaison Officer is available on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 9am to 5pm.

Call or text the First Nations Liaison Officer on 0477 698 401 or email teleigha.saunders@lchs.com.au
