Ongoing community consultations for Multi-Purpose Services (MPS)

As an MPS provider, you must have ongoing consultations with both your clients and your community. This can help you make sure your services are meeting their needs. It can also help you identify any issues or concerns.

Consult your clients

People receiving care in your MPS should be able to provide feedback:

You can make this easy by using methods such as:

  • surveying user satisfaction and needs
  • having focus group meetings for your clients.

Consult your community

MPS operate in small regional and remote communities. These often have a strong sense of community. It is important that you give community members the chance to provide feedback on your services and identify any unmet needs or changing priorities.

You can do this through:

  • surveys
  • regular meetings with community members.

What to discuss

Things you can talk about include:

  • any concerns your client or community may have
  • your service delivery plan
  • any unmet needs
  • any changing priorities
  • any changes to fees and charges or other service delivery.

Translation support

As an approved provider, you can use the Translating and Interpreting Service to help you with ongoing discussions.
