Review of the Charter of Healthcare Rights

The Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care is currently reviewing the Australian Charter of Healthcare Rights.

They are inviting your feedback on the draft second edition of the Charter. View the draft HERE.

There's only a few days left to register your interest to be part of a consultation in Sydney on the new charter.

The Charter describes the rights of all people accessing the Australian healthcare system. It applies in all healthcare settings in Australia including public and private hospitals, general practice, day procedure services, dental and other community settings.

Consultation Workshop

Registration deadline: Monday 18 February 2019 (close of business )
Who: Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care

Health Consumers NSW is working in partnership with the Commission to hold a consultation with health consumers on the new charter. We are looking for 10-15 people who are available to join us on the afternoon of Friday, 15 March in the Sydney CBD (venue to be confirmed).

People will be reimbursed for their time and we have some funding to support people from outside of Sydney to attend.

Survey

The Commission has also established an online survey about new Charter. It takes approximately 5-10 minutes to complete and you can skip any question. HCNSW encourages as many consumers as possible to fill in the survey and let people know your opinion on the new draft charter: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/QKRJLNX
