What is the Consumer Community Advisory Panel?

Our Consumer and Community Advisory Panel (CCAP) brings together people with lived and living experience, and family, friends and carers.

Members share their ideas, views and lived experience. What they share helps Grand Pacific Health learn, create change and make our supports better.

This might include:

ideas to make it easier for people to find and get support
feedback on forms, flyers and websites
ways to make phone and video support work better
ideas to improve the care and support people receive

These are just a few examples. The focus may change from meeting to meeting.

Acknowledgement of Country

Grand Pacific Health acknowledges the many Countries on which we work, rest, and play-from the skies to the land, waterways to oceans, and mountain ranges to flats.

These lands hold the stories of the ancestors who have passed into the dreaming, the footprints of present Elders, and opportunities for future Elders.

We recognise all First Nations people who continue custodianship of the land, nurturing the spiritual connection to Country and ensuring its preservation for future generations.

Recognition of Lived Experience

We recognise the profound contributions of individuals with lived and living experiences of mental health challenges, substance use, and suicide, as well as those who care for and support them. Each person’s journey is unique and adds invaluable insight into how we can collectively improve and reform mental health and suicide prevention systems.

We also remember those we have lost too soon, and recognise the lasting impact their absence leaves on their families, carers, and communities. Their stories, strength, and resilience guide us to confront stigma and ensure our efforts are informed by compassion, respect, and lived experience.
