Have a Say in Your Health System
Australia’s excellent health system is undergoing major changes to deliver better healthcare for all Australians. These changes are designed to make it easier for you to access the healthcare you need, when you need it. 
One of the best ways to make sure these changes deliver better care is to listen and learn from the experiences of consumers – the everyday Australians who use and pay for our healthcare system. We want to know what you think of the health system and how it could be improved to give you better care.
The Australian Government has asked the Consumers Health Forum (CHF) to help give consumers a stronger voice in health policy decisions.
To do this, CHF is developing the ourhealth.org.au website and training consumer representatives to influence decision making. The ourhealth.org.au website will help you find information on health services and how you can access them. It will also allow you to ‘have a say’ by sharing your ideas on how our health system can be improved. The consumer representatives will work to ensure that health policy decisions are made with your needs in mind.
www.ourhealth.org.au is currently under construction. When it is completed, this website will provide you with an opportunity to share ideas, issues and your healthcare story in a safe online environment. If you would like to be kept up to date with our work and advised of the launch of the website, please register your email address.
Consumers Health Forum (CHF) is the independent national organisation representing the interests of Australian healthcare consumers, working to ensure all Australians can access quality, affordable and timely healthcare.
CHF is made up of member organisations around Australia. Click here to find a member that might be working in an area that interests you. To learn more about CHF's work or to get involved, go to www.chf.org.au
