Overview

This resource is designed to give primary health agencies easy access to ideas and information related to consumer, carer and community participation. It was launched by Health Issues Centre and the Primary Health Branch, Department of Human Services at the Annual General Meeting of the Health Issues Centre on Tuesday 20 November 2007.

The resource includes information on four workshops run by Health Issues Centre on behalf of the Primary Health Branch over 2006 – 2007. These workshops were based on three themes identified by Primary Care Partnership managers:

• the connection between consumer participation, health promotion and community development
• engaging newly arrived communities
• consumer participation and chronic disease management

The resource contains details of the workshops (including tips for running similar events), relevant articles and case studies and suggested further reading.
