What is place-based planning?
Place-based planning takes ‘an holistic approach to health services planning’. It is informed by exploring multiple different types of data including demographic, socioeconomic, workforce, and health behaviours and status; and developing partnerships between local health service providers (public and private), community groups, local, state/regional and national governments and their relevant agencies to use this data, with the benefit of local knowledge, to develop and deliver health programs and services.” (Yeboah 2005)
It takes: “a locally grounded approach to generate locally relevant solutions.” (Panzera 2016)

How will place-based planning happen in Clermont?
A local reference group has been established with representation by key stakeholders. The group will guide the project and provide advice.
Four co-design workshops are planned (approx. 1.5 to 2 hours duration) involving community members, service providers, managers and other key stakeholders to identify issues and explore solutions. If you are unable to attend a workshop, a one-on-one meeting can be arranged with a project team member so you can share your views.
Everyone is welcome to participate in the workshops or through interviews. Participation is voluntary.
Following the co-design workshops an action plan will be developed and prioritised, feasible actions implemented. Evaluation will be undertaken in relation to the co-design process and also impacts and outcomes of the actions. A local Project Support Officer will help coordinate activities, implement actions and undertake evaluation.
