Collaboration for Systems Change Webinar Series: In Conversation with Health Justice Australia, Hume Riverina Legal Service and Gateway Health

Wednesday April 27th 2022

10am-11am (AEST)

You are invited to join us for this free webinar as part of our new Collaboration for Systems Change Webinar Series. In this webinar, we will be in conversation with Health Justice Australia, Hume Riverina Community Legal Service and Gateway Health.

Health justice partnerships are practitioner led collaborations, which embed legal help into healthcare services and teams. Collaboration is therefore central to health justice partnerships, enabling those who are most vulnerable to legal and health problems to receive the holistic, timely care and help they need, in the places they trust.

Health Justice Australia is the national centre of excellence for health justice partnership (HJP), supporting collaborations between services to achieve better health and justice outcomes for vulnerable communities.

The HALO HJP is a partnership between Gateway Health and Hume Riverina Community Legal Service. The partnership’s aims are to bring together the skills and resources of health practitioners and lawyers to create a collaborative approach to intersecting health and legal problems faced by vulnerable members of our community. Our partnership has a client-centred, holistic, outcomes focus, which also seeks to build capacity within our workforce to, in turn, build sustainable change to both health and legal sectors, aiming for true transdisciplinary care.

Over the past 3 years, Health Justice Australia has been working with the HALO HJP to pilot a program of work that explores what it looks like, requires, and uncovers when Health Justice Australia provides place-based support and coaching in the design and implementation of HJPs that are underpinned by principles of effective partnership. At this webinar, they’ll be sharing what they’re learning.

We’ll explore:

The specific challenges that health justice partnerships, and Health Justice Australia, have been formed to address
The different goals and roles of individual health justice partnerships, and the national centre of excellence - Health Justice Australia
What Gateway Health and Hume Riverina Community Legal Service have learnt about partnering across different sectors and maintaining engagement over time
What Health Justice Australia has learnt about what they can contribute and how, as a national knowledge hub, when partnering with place-based partnerships like HALO
How the value of this collaborative approach is being measured, and how these insights are being used to shape the future of health justice partnerships in Australia and elsewhere
