Throughout engagements, END RHD WA aims to provide multiple opportunities for communities to meaningfully contribute to the development of the Action Plan. Community engagement workshops will be designed to ensure Aboriginal-led solutions and the voice of those with lived experience is championed.

Workshops will be directed with a co-design approach achieved through two-way understanding, authentic relationships, Aboriginal leadership, equitable resourcing and ongoing evaluation. Community engagement will be supported by fostering existing place-based relationships between local Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services (ACCHS) and community members. In areas with no local ACCHS, other partner local health services and trusted providers will support community engagement. A summary of each workshop will be shared back to participants and community members via local ACCHS and/or health services.

When appropriate, web-based platforms including online surveys and forums will be also be utilised to ensure comprehensive cross-sector engagement is achieved, particularly to provide opportunities for non-community-based stakeholders to contribute.

Feedback will be used to inform priority areas for research and community-focused projects and activities. Community responses will be used directly to shape the Action Plan and to ensure that the work of END RHD WA is led by the people RHD affects the most.
