Patients completing a research survey_edited.jpg

We partner with researchers, healthcare providers, universities, government, and industry to ensure patient voice is front and centre in evidence gathering and decision-making.

 

We investigate what matters to patients – from access to medicines and specialist costs, to telehealth quality, care experiences, and system reform.

 

Our research helps:

  • Identify gaps and barriers in care

  • Inform our advocacy and submissions

  • Support service improvement and accountability

  • Amplify lived experience in policy design

We run national surveys to gather broad insights into patient experiences and priorities, guiding advocacy, policy, and system improvements.

National Surveys

Our forums create safe spaces for patients to share views on key topics, helping shape informed, patient-centred health policies.

Patient Forums

We share real patient stories to humanise healthcare issues, influence decision-makers, and ensure policy reflects lived experience and diverse voices.
