We are advocating for greater transparency and affordability in healthcare by addressing the rising out-of-pocket costs faced by patients. This campaign calls for improved access to clear information and fairer pricing in medical care to ensure no one is financially burdened when seeking essential treatments.

​

Why It Matters:

• Many Australians struggle to understand or predict healthcare expenses until they receive the bill.

• High costs can lead to delayed or skipped treatments and appointments, risking worse health outcomes.

• Patients deserve clarity and fairness to make informed choices about their care.

 

Our Key Goals:

1. Transparency: Push for consistent, upfront disclosure of costs by healthcare providers.

2. Affordability: Advocate for policies that reduce patient costs, especially for vulnerable groups.

3. Awareness: Equip Australians with tools and resources to navigate the healthcare system confidently.

We are raising awareness and advocating for changes to how new medical treatments, devices, and technologies are evaluated and made available in Australia. This campaign focuses on ensuring patients can access the latest healthcare innovations quickly, affordably, and fairly.

​

Why It Matters:

• The process for approving new treatments and technologies can be slow and complicated, delaying access for patients.

• Decisions about which innovations are funded often don’t fully consider the voices and needs of patients.

• Everyone deserves timely access to life-saving advancements, regardless of where they live or their financial situation.

 

Our Key Goals:

1. Faster Access: Advocate for changes to speed up the approval and funding of new treatments and technologies so patients don’t have to wait unnecessarily.

2. Patient-Centered Decisions: Push for stronger patient involvement in the decision-making process to ensure new healthcare options meet real-world needs.

3. Fair and Affordable Healthcare: Support policies that make cutting-edge treatments and technologies available to all Australians without financial barriers.

We are advocating for a future where digital health tools not only improve care but also meet high standards of quality, security, and inclusivity. This campaign focuses on addressing care barriers, safeguarding personal health data, empowering patients with self-management tools, and introducing a quality certification framework to ensure Australians can trust the digital health solutions they use.

​

Why It Matters:

• Digital health has the potential to bridge gaps in care caused by distance, cost, or lack of resources, but only if tools are reliable and accessible.

• Protecting personal health data is essential to building trust and confidence in digital healthcare systems.

• Patients need high-quality digital tools to manage their own health effectively.

• A certification framework would ensure digital health services meet consistent standards of safety, security, and usability for all Australians.

​

Our Key Goals:

1. Breaking Down Barriers: Advocate for digital health solutions, like telehealth and apps, to make healthcare more accessible, no matter where patients live or what challenges they face.

2. Safeguarding Health Data: Push for strong policies and regulations to protect personal health information and ensure trust in digital health systems.

3. Empowering Patients: Promote high-quality, certified tools that help individuals manage their own health, such as apps for tracking conditions or managing medications.

4. Equity and Inclusion: Ensure digital health tools are designed to be inclusive and accessible for all Australians, including people with disabilities, older adults, and communities with limited resources.

5. Quality Certification Framework: Introduce a robust certification system to guarantee that digital health tools meet standards for safety, effectiveness, and user experience, ensuring patients can trust the solutions they rely on.
