The Australian Patients Association is an independent not-for-profit organisation dedicated to championing and protecting the rights and interests of all patients, and improving overall patient care and health outcomes.

We aim to:

• Address important health issues impacting on patient care in the public and private healthcare system;
• Research and develop sensible remedies to benefit members and the broader community;
• Inform and educate patients about their rights and choices, as well as support patients in need.

We believe that an effective patient support group representing the rights and interests of all patients can have a positive influence on the development of national healthcare policy and reform, ultimately resulting in improved patient care and health outcomes.

Please join our cause today. We welcome all enquiries via this website, by email or phone.
