Partnering with patients, their families and carers has never been more important to ensure that patients and carers have positive experiences and outcomes that matter to them.

This award acknowledges projects and programs that reflect meaningful and active collaboration between the patient, their families and carers and the health care team to improve health outcomes.

  • empowering patients to take control of their health, be supported in managing their own health conditions, whilst ensuring they are treated with kindness and respect
  • shared decision making; recognising that patients, their families and cares are experts in their care, with values and needs that shape their decision making
  • clinicians planning and delivering care and outcomes that matter in partnership with the patient, their family and carer
  • enhancing access to patient centred care for people living with chronic illness
  • promotion of CORE values in all patient, family and carer interactions
  • engaging consumers, carers, and communities in strategic planning and governance processes.
