COUNTDOWNCLOCK

We look forward to seeing you there!

Check out the program, our keynote speakers, and make your plan to join us on the glorious Gold Coast. See you at:  

Southport Sharks Events Centre
Cnr Musgrave and Olsen Avenue, Gold Coast

If you haven’t registered to attend in person, join online to be part of the discussion about ‘Influence in Action’ and the power of consumer advocacy in health care and participate in Q&As, an interactive workshop and networking during the livestream event.

Consumer partnerships have the power to drive meaningful improvements in the quality and safety of health services.  The Annual Forum theme Influence in Action will bring this impact to life by showcasing how consumers create change at individual, service, and system levels through local projects and partnerships with the health sector. Participants will leave equipped with practical strategies to translate action into influence.

Program speakers, panel discussions and workshops will explore:

  • how consumer and community partnerships drive measurable improvements
  • examples of impactful consumer and community engagement partnerships that demonstrate what it looks like to move from lived or living experience to real change
  • how to ‘disrupt’ in ways that are constructive, strategic and outcomes focused – challenging what isn’t working while strengthening quality, safety and trust in health services
  • what would influence look like if it was done differently?
  • practical strategies for turning consumer-led action into lasting influence across the health system.

WHAT PARTICIPANTS SAID ABOUT THE 2025 ANNUAL FORUM

Collaborating with like-minded people is essential to progress advocacy and change

Warm, collaborative event that fostered great conversations within and between sessions

The Forum was very well facilitated, the speakers and topics were varied and informative, and of great assistance going forward for me

Opportunity to network, hear different perspectives, and be updated on new, innovative initiatives was good to know what is happening
