Consumer Updates and Conversations

The implementation of the Sustainable Health Review is expected to be a ten-year process. The commitment to new approaches to support citizen and community partnership should open many doors for consumer, carer and community representatives to be involved. In order to support us to be effective, this page aims to provide up to date information about the Sustainable Health Review.

There was a Consumer Briefing Session on the Sustainable Health Review conducted on 19th October 2020 by Nicole O’Keefe and Nicole Bennett from the WA Department of Health here or click the video link below:
