Community Engagement and Participation

Engaging with our community helps to improve how we service our community.

DPV Health are focused on building and delivering services that are relevant and effective for our communities, and the best way to do that is to involve clients and community members directly. 

We are keen to engage with community members of all ages from all our diverse communities.

Together Framework

DPV Health’s Framework for Community Engagement and Participation

• The DPV Health ‘Together Framework’ for Community Engagement and Participation outlines our commitment to seek, empower, engage, and respond to the diverse needs of clients and community in Melbourne’s north. 
• DPV Health adopts the International Association for Public Participation, IAP2 Spectrum to define, measure and evaluate how we ensure clients and community have opportunities for all public participation levels of – Inform, Consult, Involve, Collaborate and Empower. 
• In addition to the levels of participation the Together Framework identifies 5 areas of service – Planning, Design, Delivery, Evaluation, and Governance in which clients and community have opportunities to participate.
