Health Consumers Queensland is offering five consumers or carers the opportunity to host a kitchen table discussion with their community network to learn about their opinions and experiences of alcohol and other drug treatment services and supports in the region.
About the project
Health Consumers Queensland has been contracted by Darling Downs and West Moreton PHN to facilitate five (5) kitchen table discussions in October to hear from the community about their opinions and experience of alcohol and other drugs treatment services and supports in their community. These discussions can be held in-person or online.
Darling Downs and West Moreton PHN are funded by the Australian Government to improve primary health care services (services that sit outside of a hospital) in the Darling Downs and West Moreton region.
To do this, the PHN works with the community and health care providers to identify how the services in the community are working, what can be improved and what is missing.
What is TALK ABOUT?
‘TALK ABOUT’ is a way for Darling Downs and West Moreton PHN to ask you about your experience with health care in your community.
The PHN wants to ‘talk about’ what you think is working well and what you think could be done better in relation to alcohol and other drugs treatment services. Read more about TALK ABOUT >
Purpose of the project
The purpose of the Kitchen Table discussions is to hear directly from community members to understand what services and supports have been useful and what needs to be improved in relation to alcohol and other drugs treatment services.This is a good opportunity for the Darling Downs and West Moreton community to express what is working, what isn’t, and to see if there are other services they need to support community members.

Seeking Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander parents
Closing date: 9am Friday 16 October 2020.
We are happy to share that since the Growing Deadly Families a healthy start for mums and bubs forum in Brisbane on 3 August 2017, the Growing Deadly Families Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Maternity Services Strategy 2019–2025 (Strategy) has been developed and launched.
The Strategy was guided by the voices of the Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander mothers (consumers) at this forum and includes their three key priorities:
1. “We want a say in how maternity services are designed and delivered”
2. “We don’t want to keep telling our same story to different people”
3. “We want more of our people providing our maternity care”
We invite you to apply to join the Growing Deadly Families Implementation Oversight Committee (GDFIOC), that will guide and monitor the implementation of the Strategy.
Lived experience from using maternal health services in Queensland will help us meet the cultural, emotional, physical and spiritual needs of mothers, babies and their families. This experience will also increase health outcomes and ensure culturally safe, positive experiences, making a difference to the future of our communities across the state. (more…)

Health Consumers Queensland has an opportunity for 15 consumers to lead consultation with their local community through kitchen table discussions to learn about their knowledge of and/or experience with Queensland public Hospital in the Home services.
Hospital in the Home provides care in a patient’s permanent or temporary residence for conditions requiring clinical care, monitoring and/or input that would otherwise require treatment in a traditional inpatient hospital bed.
About Kitchen Table Discussions
Kitchen Table Discussions are consultation sessions led by local people for local people. They allow small groups to participate in discussions at a time of day, and in a place, that suits them. The discussions enable health consumers, carers and community members who do not ordinarily participate in healthcare consultation to have their say in a safe and supportive environment.
Each Kitchen Table Discussion will be led by a Consumer Host with a strong community network. The host will invite up to six community members to a discussion in a location of their choosing. If hosting a session online via Zoom or Skype, the host will invite five community members to participate.
The Host guides the discussion with a set of questions provided to them. After the session, the host provides their participants’ feedback to Health Consumers Queensland.
