Consumer Voice Project Convention Report

Queensland Alliance is committed to consumer participation in mental health service planning and policy development. The Queensland Consumer Advisory Group (QCAG) was Queensland Health�s mechanism for receiving advice on mental health policy from consumer and carer perspectives. This group was disbanded in June 2004. The Alliance engaged in discussions with Queensland Health about what should replace QCAG. After eighteen months of discussions, Queensland Health agreed to provide resources to Queensland Alliance to undertake a state-wide consultation with consumers and carers about a new mechanism to provide advice to the Queensland Government from consumer and carer perspectives.
