Have your say on healthcare! OurHealth website

The Women's Centre for Health Matters is working with the Consumers
Health Forum of Australia (CHF) to discover and share the stories of
healthcare consumers.

What consumers - patients, their carers and their families - think about
healthcare matters. The views and experiences of consumers can tell us a
lot about what works and what doesn't, and how healthcare could be
improved.

CHF is the peak national body representing the interests of Australian
health consumers, and with funding from the Commonwealth Department of
Health, they have developed the OurHealth website -
www.ourhealth.org.au<http://www.ourhealth.org.au>. OurHealth is a place
where patients, carers and families can share their healthcare
experiences and their ideas about how to improve healthcare in
Australia. This helps consumer advocates and consumer organisations to
identify and work for changes that will improve things for patients,
carers, families and communities.

The Have your say forum on the OurHealth website is a place where
consumers can contribute to important conversations about healthcare.
Visit http://ourhealth.org.au/have-a-say/have-your-say-now to check out
what healthcare consumers all around Australia are talking about.

WCHM is especially keen for women healthcare consumers to have the
opportunity to participate in these conversations, and we'll be starting
some conversation threads of our own over the coming weeks. You can

health and wellbeing here:
