Consumer Engagement at Silverchain
Are you interested in being a voice for all consumers? We work closely with consumers, representatives and other interested people who are our consumer representatives.
Our consumer representatives complete surveys, attend focus groups or become members of our National Consumer Advisory Body (NCAB). The NCAB contributes to the planning, implementation, and evaluation of our services to make sure we are listening and responding to the needs of the people we care for. Members also provide feedback on our brochures, information sheets, and other web and print based materials to make sure they are easy to understand and communicate what our clients need to know.
If you are interested in participating, contact the Consumer Engagement team using the email link below or call 1300 650 803.
