Health Consumers’ Council has created these position statements to communicate our position on key issues affecting people and communities in WA.

If you have any questions about our position on these issues, please contact us on 9221 3422 or info@hconc.org.au

Private Health Insurance

The Health Consumer’s Council supports private health insurance as a public good that should distribute the burden of risk and cost across the community through the current community rating system (where individuals cannot have premiums set according to their level of individual risk).

The Health Consumers’ Council recognises the enormous amount of information held by insurance companies on performance of individual clinicians, facilities and procedures and supports great disclosure and use of this information for member and community benefit.

Acknowledgements

Health Consumers’ Council acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities as the Traditional Custodians of the land we work on, specifically the Whadjuk people of the Noongar nation. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging. Australia always was and always will be Aboriginal land.

Health Consumers’ Council recognises the individual and collective expertise of those living with health challenges. We recognise their vital contribution at all levels and value the courage of those who share this unique perspective for the purpose of partnering to achieve better health outcomes for all.
