Patient Advocates Australia

SUPPORT AND EXPERIENCE ON YOUR SIDE, AT YOUR SIDE

Healthcare can be complex, exhausting, overwhelming and health or aged care can be time consuming, frustrating and a huge responsibility.

Receiving reliable, plain English reports from doctors’ appointments doesn’t always happen. Hospital (Public and Private), nursing home and home base medical care is sometimes sub standard, poorly coordinated and badly communicated.

Finding and monitoring first class services in order to keep someone living independently at home can be pure guess work. Interacting with your medical providers is frequently intimidating.

EXPERT SUPPORT AND INTERVENTION RESULTS IN IDEAL OUTCOMES

We are qualified as both health professionals and advocates. We can be on your side and at your side. We can improve health outcomes, save you money, prevent stress and conflict and become a valuable resource when and where you need us.

WE SPECIALISE IN SUPPORTING PEOPLE WHO ARE FACING DIFFICULTIES OR BARRIERS IN HOSPITAL, COMMUNITY OR AGED CARE FACILITIES.

DOROTHY KAMAKER MN RN INDEPENDENT PATIENT ADVOCATE
FOUNDER PATIENT ADVOCATES AUSTRALIA - 0421 011 430

• After 30 plus years as an Intensive Care and Emergency nurse clinician, nurse advocate and academic in NSW, I decided to engage with healthcare from a patient perspective by providing support as an independent patient advocate.

ALICIA DUNN* MN MPH MH PA Cert
FOUNDER PATIENT SUPPORTERS AUSTRALIA - 0456 060 353

• I have been a clinical nurse across a broad range of specialities including cardiac medicine and transplant, general surgery, operating theatres and quality assurance.  My recent experience and passion is in the care and management of sick infants and children both in hospital and in the community.

P.S. - It is an open secret in healthcare that patients with effective advocates (health professionals or health literate children or friends) get optimum care and achieve the best outcomes. 

Our goal is to become the health professional in your family and strive for those results through support and advocacy.
