The Consumers Health Forum of Australia Inc (CHF) is the national voice for health consumers. Health consumers have a unique and important perspective on health as the users and beneficiaries of health care and, ultimately, those who pay for it. CHF takes consumers’ views to government and policy makers, providing an important balance to the views of health care professionals, service providers and industry to achieve a health system that reflects the needs of all stakeholders.
CHF believes all consumers should receive affordable, safe, good quality health care at the time they need it. Consumers should receive health care information when they need it and in a form they can understand, particularly about medicines. Current CHF priorities include safety and quality in health care, safe and appropriate use of medicines and health care for people with chronic conditions. CHF nominates and supports consumer representatives on government, industry and professional committees.
CHF publishes a range of quality publications on various aspects of health care including the informative journal, Health Voices, available to members and subscribers.
