Health Consumers’ Council (HCC) was founded in 1994 as an independent, not-for-profit organisation. We are a trusted voice representing the interests of health consumers, carers, and community members; ensuring consumers are at the heart of health policy, planning, research and service delivery.

Vision

Equitable, person-centred, quality health care, and improved health outcomes and experiences for everyone in WA

Purpose

To amplify and champion the voices of WA health consumers to drive positive outcomes in health and healthcare

Our Focus Areas:

Our Values

Equity and inclusivity

We are proactive at seeking out and elevating the perspectives of people who are disadvantaged by existing structures.

Compassion

We bring kindness to the work that we do and the way we treat each other. We care for our people, supporting them so they can care for others. ­

Collaboration

We prioritise relationships as the key to making change happen.­ We seek to bring all voices and experiences into discussions.

Courage

We are not afraid to stand up for consumer rights in the face of conflicting views ­

Care

We take care of the community’s perspectives and stories that are shared with us and are careful with the funds that we receive. We understand the privilege of doing this work and carry consumer stories into every encounter

Integrity

As we hold health services to account, we also hold ourselves to account for upholding the highest standards of integrity and ethics in our work ­
