Welcome to HCCA

The Health Care Consumers' Association provides a voice for consumers on local health issues. We do this by:

• Working with health services to achieve services that are responsive, respectful, accessible and affordable to all,
• Encouraging direct consumer involvement in health decision making, and
  
• Lobbying and advocating on behalf of ACT health consumers.

There are a number of ways you can be involved by:

• becoming a member,
• following developments through HCCA communications,
• participating in the HCCA program of discussions on issues,
• representing consumers on health committees,
• providing feedback on issues facing health consumers,
• using HCCA facilities to get up-to-date information on health care interventions, and
  
• participating in consumer representative training.

Health Care Consumers' Association of the ACT Inc is a member of Consumers' Health Forum of Australia (CHF) which is an independent member-based non-government organisation providing a national voice for health consumers.

We are also members of the Australian Health Care Reform Alliance (AHCRA). AHCRA is a coalition of 46 organisations representing consumers and health care providers advocating for a fairer and more effective health care system.
