We know that the best health outcomes for our children are when you and your child work together with clinicians and healthcare professionals to share knowledge, trust and mutual respect.

To guide our patients, clients and families in how they can be involved in the healthcare journey, we have presented your healthcare rights and information on informed consent and shared decisions, which will help you feel confident that your voice is being heard.
