BCNA is working with the Consumers Health Forum of Australia (CHF) to ensure the committee understands the financial hardship that can result from out-of-pocket medical expenses. You can help us illustrate how bill shock affects thousands of Australians year after year by taking the CHF survey here.
We are also calling on people to share their experience of bill shock. These stories will help us to highlight the extent of the problem and shape solutions for the future. Let me know if you are happy for me to pass your details onto our policy team or you can email them directly at policy@bcna.org.au
