Who are we?
Community Information Support Services is social enterprise (and health promotion charity) that is all about bringing people together in local communities using the power of technology. As a Not-for-Profit, social enterprise we focus on projects that support the health and well-being (and the alleviation of poverty) of Australians through the use of community information with a bold vision. Our vision is to see the generation of better health and social outcomes across Australia by improved access to high quality community information. Our mission is to provide all Australians with access to the information they need to improve the health and wellness of their communities on a local, regional and national level. To achieve this vision we focus on the coordination of health and wellness activities in local communities and provide ways that the public and service providers can work together. We have focused our activities to support people who are vulnerable to disease and isolation in the community including: 1) People who struggle with their mental health 2) Older Australians 3) Young parents 4) Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People 5) People with chronic disease 6) People with a disability We collaborate with health and community sector organisations, government agencies with include Hospital and Health Services/ Districts, and professionals from various fields to help prevent and manage diseases in Australian communities. Our work is powered by the Community Information Exchange. We provide local information through the My Community Directory, My Community Diary, My Give Local websites. We coordinate access to care via the Access My Healthcare website which was established though visionary staff in Queensland Health who have supported a joined-up health system. We provide place-based connections through the My Community Info website. IMPORTANT NOTE: The My should be replaced by your local community eg Mackay or Hobart, or Albany because we believe that information should be available wherever you live. |
