Background 

A local meeting of western Sydney General Practitioners identified the need to engage the  community, particularly disadvantaged and hard-to-reach communities through faith-based  organisations. As a result, under the auspices of HealthServe, we invited faith leaders in the community, interested doctors and academics to join us for meetings over zoom.

Aim 

To flatten the COVID-19 curve in western Sydney by reaching out to individuals and  communities through faith-based leaders and organisations. 

Objectives 

  1. To communicate quality, consistent and regular COVID-19 information to communities in  Western Sydney through faith leaders. 
  2. To undertake a survey to assess the impact of COVID-19 in the community. 3. To share models of care. 
  3. To develop appropriate resources and interventions.
