Health Consumers’ Council WA recognised as a national nominated finalist for consumer advocacy
Health Consumers’ Council WA (HCCWA) is proud to have been recognised as a finalist in the 2026 Consumers’ Federation of Australia Consumer Advocacy Award.
The award recognises outstanding consumer advocacy that creates meaningful change for people across Australia. The 2026 award was presented during the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission’s National Consumer Congress in Sydney.
Congratulations to Super Consumers Australia, whose Take Your Super Back campaign received this year’s award for helping thousands of Australians affected by the Shield and First Guardian superannuation collapses understand their rights and seek compensation.
HCCWA was honoured to stand alongside nationally respected consumer organisations including CHOICE and the Owners Corporation Network and Australian Consumers Insurance Lobby.
While every organisation works in a different area of consumer advocacy, they share a common goal of ensuring people are heard, informed and treated fairly.
For HCCWA, this recognition reflects the importance of independent health consumer advocacy in Western Australia.
Every year we support people to navigate complex healthcare experiences, amplify consumer voices in policy and service design, and work alongside communities, clinicians and decision makers to improve the safety, quality and fairness of our health system.
Our advocacy is shaped by the experiences of Western Australians. Individual stories help identify broader patterns, which can lead to lasting improvements that benefit entire communities.
Being recognised alongside Australia’s leading consumer advocacy organisations reinforces the value of independent, consumer-led advocacy and encourages us to continue working towards a health system that is safe, equitable and centred on people.
We congratulate Super Consumers Australia on their well-deserved achievement and thank every consumer, carer, volunteer, consumer representative, member, partner and supporter who helps make our work possible.
Together, we can continue making healthcare fair for all.
