CHHII model of coordinated care has first panel meeting

After many months of designing and planning, the first CHHII panel convened this week. The CHHII Panel, comprised of 12 partner agencies (4 government, 8 non-government), considered a number of complex referrals using their respective expertise.  It was a wonderful opportunity for the community services sector to integrate their expert knowledge and resources to deliver quality coordinated care to people who are, or are at risk of homelessness in the Cairns region.

I would like to give a sincere acknowledgement to the CHHII Reference Group for their dedication in bringing the CHHII model of coordinated care to Cairns in the most challenging of times.  Members of the CHHII Reference Group include:

Sally Watson -Executive Officer, SHAC (Shelter Housing Action Cairns)

Mark Jentz – Area Manager, Mission Australia

Donna-Maree O’Connor – Chief Executive Officer, Access Community Housing Company

Toni Tapim – Executive Director, WuChopperen

Andrea Davidson – Service Integration Coordinator, Queensland Health

Kim Burt – Manager of the Office of the Regional Director, Dept of Housing and Public Works

Genevieve Sinclair – Chief Executive Officer, YETI (Youth Empowerment Towards Independence)

Ian Roberts – Chief Executive Officer, Anglicare North Queensland
