Health Consumers Tasmania is Tasmania’s independent peak body for consumer engagement, participation and advocacy in health.
We work to ensure that the voices, experiences and priorities of consumers, families and communities help shape Tasmania’s health system.
We believe that people who use healthcare services are experts in their own experiences. By bringing consumer perspectives into health policy, service design, decision-making and reform, we help create a health system that is more responsive, equitable and person-centred.
Our role is to connect with communities across Tasmania, listen to what matters to them, and work with consumers, community groups, health services, government and other partners to drive positive change. We support people to have a stronger voice in decisions about healthcare, while helping organisations build meaningful partnerships with consumers and communities.
As an independent not-for-profit organisation, we advocate for better healthcare experiences and outcomes for all Tasmanians. We do not provide health services ourselves. Instead, we focus on strengthening consumer leadership, community participation, and the systems and policies that influence health and wellbeing.
Whether we are facilitating community conversations, supporting consumer representatives, conducting engagement and consultation activities, contributing to policy discussions, or helping communities take action on local priorities, our goal remains the same: ensuring that health decisions are informed by the people most affected by them.
