We Value Your Feedback
“We won’t know if you don’t tell us"
West Gippsland Healthcare Group (WGHG) encourages and values feedback from all consumers, no matter your background, culture, language or ability. Your feedback is important and will help us know what we are doing well and where we can improve.
Feedback might be:
- a compliment about the service or staff
- a suggestion for improvement
- a complaint about treatment or care
Feedback is confidential and will not affect the care and treatment you or a loved one receives. It is kept separate from the medical record.
You can remain anonymous but the feedback will still be recorded and reviewed.
Talking to staff is often the quickest way to address your concerns. You can also provide feedback in one of the following ways:
