This is a consultation for health consumers and community workers

effective consumer-practitioner collaboration.
Issues to be covered include the challenges to Medicare, including
changes to GP funding; access to public dental care; paying for
pharmaceuticals; and the place of private health insurance.
There is no charge, but places are limited. Some funding is available
