Health charities play a number of key roles in the health system:
Research
We are a co-funder with the government on some of the most important leading health research in the world.
Public education
We provide leadership in lifestyle change for prevention, in early detection and in quality of life.
Service delivery
Health charities are part of the vast network of services that care for people before they get to the hospital, and after they leave the hospital.
The government has an opportunity to take a strengthened leadership role in these areas, in partnership with national health charities.
We can be involved in a real and tangible way in strategic health planning, and redesigning health care delivery. We ask to be at the table when health care is being planned.
