SGG Drug & Alcohol Plan	The Southern Grampians & Glenelg Drug & Alcohol Action Plan was endorsed by both Councils at their May meetings and was endorsed by the PCP’s Integrated Planning Subcommittee and Executive In June. The Plan was developed by the PCP with our partner agencies. The Action Plan is an integrated, multi-agency plan and adopts a preventative and harm minimisation approach, using a health promotion framework. It has a clear focus on alcohol as the main priority, with some attention to tobacco use. The PCP’s Integrated Planning Subcommittee will oversee the implementation of the Plan by partners agencies over the next two years.

Chronic Conditions Consumer Journeys Report	We have launched ‘Chronic Conditions Consumer Journeys Project: Rural Consumers’ Experiences of Chronic Conditions living in Portland & District’. This work was conducted to inform planning for the SGGPCP’s ICDM activities in Portland and district as well as Portland District Health’s Early Intervention in Chronic Disease Initiative. 23 local community members diagnosed with a Chronic Disease, including 3 carers, participated in the project which involved interviews and focus groups to gather information about their experiences accessing and utilising local health services. Participants were deidentified in the report. For further information, click here.
