Aim of the network
1. To successfully support members by developing a holistic communication strategy that enables health practitioners to be informed about local services and have input into community events.
2. To provide networking and information-sharing opportunities to members through regular meetings.
3. To improve community health and knowledge by local health professional service providers promoting wellness.
4. To hold free community events, including panel discussions and workshops, that bring together holistic health professionals and community members. The events aim to provide education about how to create wellness in a positive and engaging way.
5. To act at all times in a non-discriminatory manner regardless of race, sex, religion, sexual orientation or political affiliation.
6. To liaise and seek opportunities from government and non-government organisations, to secure sponsorship and donations which enable development of free community health events.
