The State-wide Equipment Program (SWEP) is seeking volunteers to share their voice in shaping our services. SWEP wants to hear what you think - your voice helps to make sure that our services are right for the community.
SWEP is a
sub-division of Grampians Health Ballarat which oversees a number of different
assistive technology programs. We provide Victorian people who either have a
permanent or long-term disability or are frail aged with subsidised equipment,
products and/or home and vehicle modifications to enhance their independence
and facilitate community participation.
Grampians Health
and SWEP is also registered with the National Disability Insurance Scheme as a
provider of equipment, products, equipment hire and repairs. For further
information about our services please refer to website https://swep.bhs.org.au/for-individuals.php
The voice of
consumers (including service users & representatives from 'like-minded'
organisations/advocacy groups) helps SWEP to be more responsive and shape our
service delivery model. We currently
have four Community Members on our Consumer Reference Group.
By joining our Consumer Reference
Group you can help in many ways which could include:
SWEP understands
that you will choose how you wish to contribute and may not wish to contribute
to all projects. Sometimes your participation might be via email and
other times it might be an ongoing commitment to be part of a SWEP Committee or
project. You will also be invited to attend
a quarterly meeting online or in person.
Your participation
as a Member of the SWEP Consumer Reference Group is a voluntary commitment
however, you will be reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses such as
transport/parking for participation in activities.
If you are
interested in becoming a member of our Consumer Reference Group, we look
forward to hearing from you.
Please contact Dianne
Sealey, SWEP Quality & Leadership Support Officer to express your interest
on 5333 8126 or email Dianne.Sealey@bhs.org.au.
