Bring a Support Person

Bring a Support Person
We invite you to bring someone with you who can help you talk with us. This can be a friend, family member, Elder, or your carer. They can help:
  • listen and talk to service providers
  • make appointments
  • collect test results
  • make complaints or give feedback
  • understand and execute your rights and responsibilities, or any other part of your treatment and care.
Sometimes, this role is called an advocate. Its best to choose someone who:
  • you trust
  • who is familiar with your culture and beliefs
  • who will respect your wishes, and
  • who has a commitment to your healthcare needs.

Choosing an advocate/support person?
If you have trouble choosing someone to support you, or to advocate for you, please talk to us about how we can help.
