We need YOU to speak out, so we can speak up for WA.
WA has a critical need for more health advocates
“It reduced my anxiety immensely having support…”
In WA, the community are fortunate to some extent in that we have the ONLY Government funded independent health advocacy service that is available to patients and families across all areas of healthcare. However, our capacity is extremely limited. We believe that independent health advocates on site in hospitals could help avert some of the tragic events that our team advocate for every day. We are calling for the Government to fund access to independent advocacy for anyone who is involved in a serious clinical incident in hospital.

Upfront dental fees
“I had to empty my savings just to fix my teeth…”
Have you or someone you know faced a huge upfront dentist bill? Many West Aussies are being told to pay thousands upfront for dental work, even being urged to raid their superannuation fund to cover the costs. In some cases, people have ended up paying even more when a procedure went wrong because it wasn’t done by a proper specialist.
That’s why we need you to speak out, so we can speak up for WA. Share your experience of upfront dental fees.
