HCCA Statement of Priorities for the 2024 ACT Election
Published: 2024
HCCA works across all areas of our complex heath system. HCCA advocates for safe and high-quality health care that is accessible and affordable for everyone. We are committed to exploring innovative ways to deliver care that meet consumers’ needs and that optimise resource use across our health system.
The Statement of Priorities represents our areas of focus for the 2024 ACT Election. We ask political parties and independent candidates to consider and address these priorities.
The Statement of Priorities has been developed with the overarching philosophy that:
- decisions regarding health services for the people of the ACT and surrounding areas should be based on the best publicly available, evidence based, current information; and
- consumers and carers must be meaningfully involved in all facets of health service planning, design, development and delivery.
HCCA’s consumer members were integrally involved in the development of these priorities. HCCA has identified priority actions under three domains:
- Improving consumer access to specific support and health services;
- Improving integration of care within the health system; and
- Support for the community sector to meet demand for services.
All priority actions detailed in this document contribute to improved safety, quality and consumer experiences of health care in the ACT.
