HCCA Internal Committees and Opportunities
Sign up to be a Consumer Resource Reviewer!
We are looking for more HCCA members to help us review consumer resources to make sure they are easy to understand and follow. This is a flexible opportunity that you can fit in with your schedule – great for people who are working or studying.
The resources we review come from health services, government and community organisations. They cover a range of different health topics. Most resources are 2-3 pages or 750-1000 words. They are usually for the general public, so we’d love to hear from people who don’t have a lot of health care knowledge.
You do not need to have experience as a consumer representative or know about specific health topics. If you are interested, email [email protected].
Please note this opportunity is not reimbursed.
