Join the MePACS Community Advisory Group

The MePACS Community Advisory Group (CAG) brings the voices of our clients, their carers and service providers to our Management Committee to help support continuous improvement, as well as planning and development of the MePACS service.

With more than 48,000 clients in Australia, MePACS is trusted by many to keep them safe at home, when out and about, and even at work, with all profits reinvested back into public health.

We are the sole service provider for the Victorian Government funded Personal Alert Victoria program, which is available free of charge to eligible Victorian residents.

The role of the CAG

CAG members are volunteers who have a responsibility to:
Advise the MePACS Service on consumer and carer views to ensure they are recognised and reflected in Personal Alert Victoria (PAV) service delivery and planning.
Identify and advise on priority areas and issues requiring consumer and community participation.
Facilitate two-way communication between clients, their carers, assessment agencies, community groups and MePACS.
Provide feedback to the quarterly PAV Statewide Advisory Group Meetings.
Advocate on behalf of clients and their carers, including promotion of greater attention and sensitivity to the needs of disadvantaged and marginalised clients.
Contribute to the development and ongoing monitoring of PAV key performance indicators.
Help to enhance community support for program initiatives by MePACS.
Assist in the promotion of the MePACS Service to the Community

Join our Community Advisory Group

We are currently seeking new members to join the advisory group via an expression of interest process.
How are CAG members appointed?
Members are chosen on the basis of their capacity to represent our clients, their carers and a broader range of community views regarding aged care and disability services.

Members are appointed for a period of up to three years with re-appointment being at the discretion of Peninsula Health.
Who would make a suitable candidate?
Proactive individuals with strong community interests that are relevant to our service. Suitable candidates include seniors, people living with disability, family members, care providers, social workers and healthcare professionals.

Members should be able to reflect on and discuss community issues rather than focus on personal or individual issues.
How often does the CAG meet?
The CAG aims to meet every 2 months. You can choose to attend in person or online.
