One Door Mental Health values the participation of those with a lived experience of mental illness in the planning and delivery of our services. As you may know, part of this is engaging our consumers to act as consultants as part of our Consumer Consultative Committee (CCC). The CCC was established in 2008 to provide a further avenue for the consumer voice to be heard. It also ensures that the One Door is operating within consumer friendly policies and procedures. We are currently seeking members (particularly from rural and regional areas) to participate in the Committee either in person or via teleconference. Meetings are held at least 4 times annually at our Gladesville office. We value your contribution, so members receive an Honorarium payment for each engagement, currently set at $70.
