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.
ACT Opportunities
Clinical Risk and Audit Committee
The primary aim of the Clinical Risk and Audit Committee is to make clear and lasting improvements in the quality of diagnostic imaging and patient care provided by Canberra Imaging Group (CIG). CIG will do this through regular review and assessment of their clinical practices.
The consumer representative will play a key role in ensuring that CIG policies, procedures, quality and safety practices align with both regulatory standards and the needs of CIG patient and healthcare partners.
This opportunity is well-suited for a representative who is confident or willing to develop their skills in system oversight, as well as engaging in discussions concerning system challenges and strengths that affect patient care.
Read the Terms of Reference for this committee, which includes the CIG Consumer induction manual.
This committee meets online quarterly with the next meeting scheduled 2 December, 5:30-7:30pm.
Please apply using the nomination form at the bottom of the page, by the 8th of November.
