The Chronic Diseases Network (CDN) is a consolidated group of people and organisations with an interest in reducing the rates of chronic diseases and their complications in the NT. The existence of the Network is a crucial enabling factor for the ongoing implementation of the NT Preventable Chronic Diseases Strategy (PCDS). The CDN encompases a wide range of sectors and organisations in the NT and interstate.
The Department supports the Network by funding the position of Chronic Diseases Network Coordinator. The Coordinator's aim is to actively engage members of the CDN to work collaboratively and play a key role in the implementation and development of the Preventable Chronic Disease Strategy. The CDN Coordinator is part of the Preventable Chronic Diseases Team, and works under the guidance of the Chronic Diseases Network Steering Committee.
Steering Committee
The Chronic Diseases Network Steering Committee is comprised of government and non-government representatives with major interests in the common chronic diseases affecting the NT population across the continuum of care. The Steering Committee provides guidance for the strategic direction of the Network and the Preventable Chronic Disease Strategy.
The CDN Steering Committee is made up of representatives from the organisations listed in the following table.
