About the program
The Health Peak and Advisory Bodies Program is a capped, competitive grant program that supports selected peak bodies.
The program aims to build capacity in the health sector to complement the work undertaken by all health peak and advisory bodies.
The program supports successful grantees to contribute to our national health system and help us develop health policies and programs by:
- supporting communication and consultation activities
- providing expert, evidence-based and impartial advice
- providing sector education and training.
Why it is important
The program helps health peak and advisory bodies to:
- consider policy linkages across the health system
- provide expert, impartial, evidence-based and timely advice on broad health system and priority policy to the Australian Government within their area of expertise
- function as a repository and source of sector knowledge and expertise
- provide advice, education, and training to consumers, carers and health care providers working in the relevant parts of the health sector, and
- represent health care providers, health care consumers, and carers, in a culturally responsive manner.
Peak bodies ensure that the views and experiences of their stakeholders are better represented and can inform health policy decisions.
