By applying to be a consumer representative, you can provide advice and participate in improvements and plans for future service development.
You can play a vital role in healthcare decision-making by sharing your unique experiences and providing a consumer perspective.

Why I became a consumer representative
“My own experiences with my younger sister in hospital after a stroke, my father in aged care and my mother in rehab after two broken hips, have provided me with valuable knowledge of what works in the health system and what can be improved. A consumer’s point of view is crucial to planning, decision making and discussions. I appreciate we all have a particular focus and we can’t achieve it all. However we should always aim to reach best practice and improve patients’ experiences. As a retired teacher, I feel it is valuable to share what we have been through and learnt.”
