Consumer Advocacy Alliance Campaigns

Our goal is to contribute to creating a patient-centred health system that encourages transparency and shared decision making; to ensuring that the consumer voice is not only heard but that co-design with lived experience consumers is at the heart of all legislation/regulation, policy, development, design, implementation, research and service provision within the health system.

Our work to achieve that goal involves a wide range of activities, including writing submissions on a range of health issues; lobbying and meeting with health entites to represent consumer concerns; and undertaking research and writing papers and discussion documents to bring significant issues and solutions to the attention individuals and entities within the health system.

We will regularly post links in the opposite column to keep you up to date with the work we are doing.
