Community consultation was a vital part of the 2015 Huon Valley Shared Transfer of Care project, which facilitated community, service provider and consumer consultation. This consultation identified specific local issues and potential solutions related to integrated care.

In 2019, the State Government’s Public Health Literacy program adopted the Statewide program with Huon Valley Council maintaining support to the Huon Valley community.
