CHF takes an evidence-based approach to its advocacy. Research findings play a critical role in ensuring our work is informed and up to date.
CHF regularly surveys consumers and community Members through:
The opt in Australia's Health Panel, to inform our submissions and key strategic documents such as our election strategy.
The National Consumer Sentiment Survey, which helps us better understand Australian adults' experiences with and satisfaction towards the Australian healthcare system.
We also undertake our own research and sometimes we partner with external organisations on research projects.
CHF joined with the National Health and Medical Research Council to produce the Joint Statement on Consumer and Community Involvement in Research.
CHF helps consumers understand their roles in research, for example through webinars and resources.
