Participate in Health Conference - My Story Matters
21-22 September 2009 Melbourne

The conference was an opportunity to learn how consumer, carer and community participation at all levels of the health care system can improve outcomes. The aim of the conference was to stimulate discussion, share experiences and, importantly, document the evidence on how participation ‘with us, not for us’ improves our health care system.

The Victorian Department of Health, together with the Participation Advisory Committee on consumer, carer and community participation and the Health Issues Centre would like to thank all the conference delegates and presenters who made the second biennial 'Participate in Health Conference: My Story Matters' such a huge success.
