Australian Charter of Healthcare Rights

The Australian Charter of Healthcare Rights describes what health service consumers, or someone for whom they care, can expect when receiving health care.

A detailed guide and a summary booklet of the Australian Charter helps consumers to understand their healthcare rights and what they can expect from the Australian healthcare system. A shared understanding of healthcare rights is important for providing safe and high-quality care. These resources can be used by consumers and clinicians to guide discussions about healthcare rights.

The Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Healthcare has developed a range of resources to support people to understand and use the Australian Charter of Healthcare Rights.
