Our Work

Colourful Irregular Bars

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.

What we do

Health Advocacy

We provide advocacy for any person experiencing an issue with any part of the WA health system. When someone is having trouble navigating health services, or faces a barrier in accessing health services, we can help by providing information, support and advice. If they would like us to, we can speak, act, and write on their behalf, to help ensure their health rights are upheld.

Consumer and Community Engagement

Consumers play a vital role in improving health and health services. We provide a range of resources, supports, and training for everyday people who want to have a say on health in WA.

System-wide Advocacy

We have a proud history of influencing positive, long-term changes in the WA health system, to ensure the system continually improves in how it responds to the needs and voices of the community. We use insights and feedback from consumers to address the systemic issues that impact people across WA.

Health Service Consulting

We provide a range of resources, training, and fee-for-service projects for health services, health staff, and health providers who want to partner with consumers on policy, planning, and delivery of services.
