Monash Health is committed to the involvement of consumers, carers and community members at all levels of our organisation.
Partnering with consumers
We understand that the delivery of effective, timely and quality healthcare is only possible by working together with patients and their families.
At an individual level, that means listening to patients and families when we are caring for them. At the organisational level, it means involving consumers in our hospitals and community health centres and providing opportunities for them to give advice and feedback on how we do things. In this way, consumer participation at Monash Health is embedded at all levels of the organisation.
Community Advisory Committee
One important way that consumer advisors are involved at Monash Health is through our Community Advisory Committee.
