Our Consumer Advisory Committee (CAC) plays an important role in ensuring we partner with our patients, consumers and the community in the planning, delivery and improvement of our services.
The CAC works to provide a voice for the community and consumers in strategic decision making and governance at Epworth HealthCare.
The CAC meets six times per year and its membership includes representatives from Epworth's Board and executive team and Consumer Advisors who act in an advisory capacity.
Members of our Consumer Advisory Committee include:
Rev. Sue Withers
An ordained minister of the Uniting Church of Australia, Rev. Sue Withers is a member of the Epworth Board and Patient Care Committee. Sue joined the Consumer Advisory Committee in 2021.
“As a Board Member I am interested to learn more about the consumer’s experience of the care offered at Epworth Hospital. I find it exciting that we are part of a hospital that values and listens to the consumer voice, so we can learn and continue to offer the absolute best possible care for all persons associated with Epworth.”
