PATIENT ADVOCATES AUSTRALIA www.patientadvocateS.com.au Every person in Australia is entitled to excellent health care but not every person gets that level of care or knows how to go about getting it. The system is complex, the language is difficult and patients frequently feel overwhelmed or intimidated. Being ill can be hard enough without having to fend for yourself. Health consumers can experience a gap between what they need and what they get. Our brief is to meet your needs through a collaborative process with you, your family and your providers. I am an experienced health professional, qualified patient advocate and am passionate about seeing patients achieve good health outcomes. Dorothy Kamaker Founder Patient Advocates Australia
