SCNs bring togeth­er health pro­fes­sion­als, con­sumers and oth­er experts to lead change, solve com­plex prob­lems and improve out­comes in spe­cif­ic areas of health­care. Their work extends across the state and beyond SA Health.

  • col­lab­o­rate with clin­i­cians, con­sumers, car­ers and key stake­hold­ers to dri­ve inno­va­tion and improve out­comes for women, babies and fam­i­lies across South Australia
