CQ Health Consumer Representative Application form 2021-2022 CQ Allied Health Advisory Group

Overview

Allied health professionals provide care to people of all ages who might have a range of different or chronic health issues.

If you, or someone you care for, or someone you know has accessed our Central Queensland Allied Health services - we want to hear from you! Your experience and feedback are important to us.

We have several health consumer roles available and need people from across Central Queensland with different backgrounds and experience to apply.

Help us build an exciting, consumer network which shares ideas and views with CQ Health to develop and improve the allied health services you need.

Apply by registering your interest to volunteer to be a Health Consumer Representative for Central Queensland Hospital and Health Service.

Our health consumer representatives have opportunities to participate in many aspects of our health service, from committee participation, consultation, focus groups or recruitment panels.

As a health consumer representative, you will need to be able volunteer a few hours of your time when needed for the engagement activity. Depending on what your interests are, you may be asked to complete an application and selection process to be part of some higher-level strategic committees.

Health consumer representatives have a unique and essential role in our health service. Without our health consumer representatives there is often no-one on a committee or interview panel who can represent a non-medical person and, in many cases, a broader community perspective. The health consumer has an important role in consumer and community engagement and will assist the health service with service planning and decision-making.

We are committed to a diverse and inclusive health consumer representation, reflective of our community.

To apply you need to live in the Central Queensland Hospital and Health Service region. Queensland Health staff members are unable to apply.

Please complete the following application form in full. Your personal details will remain confidential and will only be used for the purposes of consumer engagement activities co-ordinated by the health service. We will remove your details at any time on your request.
