Consumer SelfAdvocacy Workshop – Tuesday 7 April
Margaret has also generously offered her time to run a workshop for our consumer network!
This session will help consumers and carers increase their confidence in understanding all things medical billing, navigating Medicare, understanding private healthcare costs, and how to identify if Medicare has been billed for services that did not take place.
This is a supportive, practical space to build skills for making informed decisions and asking clearer questions.

AND A SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT……
Workshop for Staff Supporting Consumers – Wednesday 8 April
To complement our consumer workshop, we’re also hosting a specialised session for staff who support people with questions or concerns about healthcare costs and billing.
Ideal for advocates, community workers and financial counsellors supporting people at risk of being overcharged, confused by fees, or facing unexpected medical bills.
There is a $25 charge to assist with the costs of hosting this event; however, we don’t want cost to be an issue! Please email engagement@hconc.org.au if cost will be a barrier to attending.
