Consumer Partnerships

Partnering with Consumers to advise on the delivery of our services

The Royal Perth Bentley Group (RPBG) Consumer Advisory Committee (CAC) establishes a formal partnership between consumers, carers, community representatives and RPBG so we can better understand the consumer experience. All consumers and carers interested in engaging with the Royal Perth Bentley Group will be included in our Consumer Pool which will open up opportunities for you to contribute to all of our work across both Royal Perth Hospital and the Bentley Health Service.

In addition to the RPBG CAC, RPBG also has a Mental Health specific consumer group known as the Lived Experience Advisory Group (LEAG).

All consumer and carers can be offered opportunities to provide opinions and advice about our services, policies, publications and projects.

The CAC and LEAG meet monthly and the Pool receives a monthly newsletter with internal and external opportunities for engagement and information of interest.
