The Independent Chair, Ms. Janne McMahon OAM, who is a consumer, heads the Network.
Each Australian state and the ACT has its own State Coordinator who forms the National Committee, and meet for two, two day face to face meetings of the Network held in February and August each year, via teleconferences during the year and via email at all times.
The present State Coordinators are set out below:
- Queensland – Mr Norm Wotherspoon
- New South Wales – Mr Lee Hill
- Australian Capital Territory – Ms Kim Werner
- Victoria – Mr Evan Bichara
- South Australia – Mr John Kincaid
- Western Australia – Mr Patrick Hardwick
- Tasmania – Ms Lucy Henry
Each state has a well‐established State Committee, which meets formally twice per year for approximately 2‐4 hours, usually at a private hospital within that state.
Representation on these committees is drawn from members of private hospital consumer carer advisory committees and consumer consultants together with people who have experienced care and their carers, from private sector settings within each state.
