MS Australia – QLD is committed to advocating on behalf of people living with MS to influence positive outcomes within Government and key stakeholders.
On Wednesday 1 June, 2011, Queensland’s first Health Advocacy Toolkit was launched by the Minister for Health, Hon Geoff Wilson to give every Queenslander a voice to strengthen individual and community engagement in relation to each individual’s health through advocacy.
Health Consumers Queensland has been established to assist with the continued development and reform of health systems and services in Queensland, by providing information to the Minister for Health from the consumers’ perspective and the promotion and support of engaging with the consumer and through advocacy.
The comprehensive toolkit contains information on healthcare rights of the individual and includes valuable information such as tips for best outcomes when working with your doctor and health professionals to strengthen individual and consultative engagement.
