The Consumer Health Forum (CHF) is seeking applications for 3 x Consumer Rapporteurs for this year’s CHF Summit: Shifting Gears.
The Consumer Rapporteurs will take an important role in maximising consumer participation throughout the Summit with complimentary registrations provided.
The rapporteurs’ role will involve three main activities:
- to attend sessions at the CHF Summit 2021;
- work together to prepare and deliver two 15-minute consumer insights sessions at the conclusion of each day;
- and help document consumer perspectives on the Summit activities and outcomes and contribute to a consumer report on the Summit.
This consumer report is designed to:
- Report back to Summit participants, to inform their thinking and learning
- Feature in our post Summit edition of our e-journal, Health Voices
- Inform Summit organisers on future CHF Summits
- Inform CHF and other health consumer organisations about issues and opportunities arising from the Summit.
Rapporteurs will be required to:
- Participate in a planning teleconference before the Summit
- Catch-up with other consumers two or three times during the Summit
- Contribute to a consumer insights session to sum up the conference themes and highlights at the end of Day 1 and at Summit’s conclusion on Day 2.
Rapporteurs will be supported by CHF’s policy team should they need assistance in preparing or rehearsing their insights sessions.
Application details:
CHF invites expressions of interest from consumer representatives by midnight AEDT on Sunday 28 February 2021. Interested consumer representatives will need to:
- Complete a CHF nomination form available online at https://chf.org.au/representation/forms/consumer-representative-nomination-form
- Attach a letter of endorsement from a supporting health consumer organisation. This letter ensures that consumer representatives are accountable to consumers. Please note that the health consumer group need not be a CHF member. This process ensures consumer representatives are placed with the confidence of consumers, and have in place a consultative base enabling reps to draw from and report to consumers.
- Attach a short (2 page) CV in pdf format
Please contact Ghislaine Martin on 02 6273 5444 or via email at g.martin@chf.org.au should you have any queries.
