Introducing the Community Hub Working Group

7 ladies that are a part of the Community Hub working group

We’re delighted to introduce you to the Community Hub Working Group! We extend a warm welcome to the following Working Group members: 

  • Kate Blacksell- Community Development Coordinator, Human Services SA 

  • Verity Hollobone - Roxbylink/Roxby Downs Council 

  • Melissa Diver – St Barbara’s Parish School 

  • Jess O’Neill - Community Representative 

  • Dahlia Enoch - Community Representative and Roxby Downs Health Forum 

  • Kerry Orr – Aboriginal Liaison Officer, Roxby Downs Health Service 

  • Teresa Hodgets – Roxby Downs Doctors Surgery 

  • Deanne Clayton - Roxby Downs Area School 

  • Kelli Hersey – Roxby Downs Area School 

The Working Group is a collective of local community and organisational representatives who come together 4 times per year to advise the Hub Team. Members share advice on local priorities, ideas for scheduled events at the Hub and help to promote the Hub and its programs in our community. 

At our first meeting in June, the Working Group explored what they’d like to see through the quarterly meetings. It’s great that our members see the Hub Working group as an opportunity to: 

  • Work together and network with other 

  • Enable better reach in the community 

  • Represent Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community member interests 

  • Break down silos 

  • Bring the perspectives of a parent with older children to the group 

  • Connect their local school with the community  

  • Work together with the Children’s Centre on referral pathways for vulnerable families 

  • Volunteer and contribute on a community level. 

If you're community minded and enthusiastic about contributing to the Community Hub, we have a couple of spots left on the team.  Please get in touch with Terressa Hann, our Community Hub Supervisor via email (terressa@healthyenvirons.com.au) or phone the hub on (8671 2461).
