At CHF our vision is for a world class health system centered on consumers and communities. The way we achieve this is by drawing on consumer and community knowledge and experience to relentlessly drive innovation and improvements to the Australian healthcare system.
We facilitate a range of ways for consumers to be engaged. These include (but are not limited to):
Committees and Advisory Boards
Advisory panels
Roundtable discussions and forums
Workshops
Research
Speaking on panels and webinars
Education sessions
Surveys
Reviewing resources
We are committed to connecting consumers with the right skills and experiences to provide valuable input to these opportunities.
We offer resources for people partnering with consumers and for consumers on our Resources page.

Consumer payment

Hourly fee: $92.80
