Carers Australia Submission to the Department of Health on Strengthening Provider Governance

18 January 2022 – 220.23 KB

Carers Australia has chosen to respond to this consultation with a written submission rather than the online questionnaire, as the questionnaire does not address all of the issues we would like to raise in response to the Consultation Paper, and confines comment to questions raised where we disagree with the proposition. This questionnaire also allows little scope to raise matters which we believe need clarification and to raise additional points in relation to propositions we agree with.

Carers Australia Response to the Australian Government Department of Health ‘Consultation Draft – Primary Health Care 10 Year Plan’

21 November 2021 – 434.55 KB

Carers Australia made this submission following our response to the Primary Health Reform Steering Group recommendations on the 10 Year Plan. A Primary Health Care Plan which adheres to the principles of the Carer Recognition Act 2010 will support carers to enjoy optimum health and social wellbeing. Health care providers should treat carers as partners with other care providers, acknowledging their unique knowledge and experience. A Plan which recognises carers as both ‘partners in care’ and a priority population group will be much better positioned to provide carers with planned, coordinated and preventive health care.
