The Australian Patients Association (www.patients.org.au) is an independent not-for-profit organisation dedicated to championing and protecting the rights and interests of all patients, and improving overall patient care and health outcomes. We aim to: - Address important health issues impacting on patient care in the public and private healthcare system; - Research and develop sensible remedies to benefit members and the broader community; - Inform and educate patients about their rights and choices, as well as supporting patients in need. We believe that an effective patient support group representing the rights and interests of patients can have a positive influence on the development of national healthcare policy and reform, ultimately, resulting in improved patient care and health outcomes. Please join our cause today. We welcome any enquiries via LinkedIn, our website www.patients.org.au or you can connect and engage with us via our social network platforms.
