Midwives could attend consumer meetings/associations as part of their
accreditation requirements - keeps everyone down to earth that way.
Also, many organisations appoint the consumer rep of their choice. If
consumer representation on professional organisations rather than
professional representation in consumer associations is really what you
think is needed, why not ask consumer organisations to make their own
democratic appointment?
It concerns me that at times, consumer reps end up losing touch with the
group they are meant to be representing.I can think of a few who certainly
do not present my views, nor those of HMA members (or any other consumers
that I know of. The result of becoming a "professionalised" consumer rep,
perhaps???.

Hello to all ozmidders, I would like to propose getting consumers onto ACMI
exec, I am interested in all views on this matter and if enough support ways
of making it happen, especially in view of AGM coming up in Hobart in
September. Look forward to reading your comments.
Regards Pete Malavisi, Midwife.
