The voice of the consumer - Danijela Hlis Governing for Reform

At the heart of the aged care sector is the experiences and quality of life of older Australians. Unique to this sector is that governing bodies and leaders in the sector all share a common goal, to deliver high quality, safe and sustainable care. This podcast, will feature the voice of aged care consumers and advocates to hear about what person centred care really means and how governing bodies can lead organisations that embed the consumer at the heart of systems and processes.
