Health Care Advisory Council (HCAC)

We are committed to involving consumers and clinicians in planning and evaluating health services.

The existing framework for engagement has been informed by Partners in Health - Sharing information and making decisions together (2001), with the Government Response and A Clear Voice for Clinicians and the Community (2004), with the Government Response.

The Health Care Advisory Council is the peak clinical and community advisory group which provides advice to the NSW Minister for Health and the Director-General of NSW Health. The Council meets every second month and membership is made up of clinician and consumer representatives.

The HCAC Newsletter is published quarterly to highlight the achievements of Health Priority Taskforces and provide a communication loop with key audiences.
