About

Community Voice Team Member with the RCT Health Determinates Research Collaboration.

The HDRC is working to change community voice involvement in decision making. Instead of decisions being made and residents/organisations then being asked what they think about the decision, we are flipping it. We are involving community voice before the decisions are made. This means that the decisions are informed by the real-life experiences of those living in RCT so the decisions made are more likely to have a positive impact on our community. My role is to support the gathering of this lived experience evidence for HDRC projects by engaging with residents and community organisations to hear what matters to them, what they need to live healthier lives here in RCT, and suggestions on what they think would work well/wouldn’t work. This is done on a project-by-project basis, focusing on involving those with lived experience relevant to the project topic. They could share their evidence via workshops, focus groups, interviews, or sitting on project working groups. I advocate for the involvement of their voices and ensure their evidence is equal to all other types of evidence used in the decision-making process.
