Access to and Affordability of Medical Specialists Survey

Access to and Affordability of Medical Specialists Survey

Help shape Carers WA’s submission to the Australian Government Inquiry into Access to and Affordability of Medical Specialists in Australia (Terms of Reference and more information available here).

The Inquiry is examining access to medical specialists; the effectiveness, transparency and equity of referral pathways; affordability of specialist services; impact of delays on patient outcomes; wider system impacts; and the impacts of delayed care.

We want to hear about your experiences accessing specialist healthcare for the person you care for, including any barriers you have faced, the impacts on your caring role, and what changes would make the greatest difference.

Your responses will help ensure the experiences of carers are represented in recommendations to government and future healthcare reforms. All responses are deidentified.

People completing the survey will have the opportunity to enter a draw for one of two $50 Prezzee gift cards. Thank you for sharing your experiences and helping us to advocate for improved access to specialist healthcare for WA carers and families.
