title: Community consultation and engagement in health care reform.
abstract: In advocating for significant reform of the health care system, the Australian Health Care Reform Alliance (AHCRA) supports a process of citizen engagement that will allow the wider community to have a say in the future direction of their health care system. Models that have engaged community opinions have been successful overseas, and this article calls for similar processes in Australia.
