Mrs Liebenberg said it was a valuable chance at outreach, with some offering positive stories about the Deniliquin Health Service.
Infographics and lists of local wellbeing organisations explained who local health bodies are and how people can get involved.
‘‘We’ve seen a really diverse group of people coming up to talk with us,’’ Ms Barclay said.
‘‘People can voice any concerns — this is one way we get general grassroots feedback.’’
Mrs Liebenberg said that feedback can then be collated and passed on to the appropriate pathways.
Ms Bond added much of the feedback on the Deniliquin Health Service on the day was positive.
The committee has been an integral part of keeping Edward River residents up to date on the COVID-19 situation in the area over the course of the pandemic — with many people aware of the group due to its social media posts.
It has covered everything from vaccine availability to COVID testing, to managing stress when the world is so unpredictable.
The LHAC offers advice in various areas of health, and is one of a number of similar committees in the Murrumbidgee Local Health District.
Ms Bond said Saturday was a good opportunity to dispense information about the local advisory and advocacy groups — the Deniliquin LHAC, the Deniliquin Mental Health Action Group, and the Deniliquin Health Action Group.
Along with providing information, the LHAC has helped locals get actively involved in looking after their health, including hosting a men’s health night in June last year.
The committee is also looking for new members. Applications to join the committee close tomorrow, phone 0477 359 764 for more information.
