What will Community Advisory Panel (CAP) members do?
Panel members will initially provide input on topics associated with Emerge Australia’s advocacy priorities. We also anticipate there will be ad-hoc opportunities to participate in other advocacy matters as they arise.
The pilot project will be further designed by Community Advisory Panel members. Over eighteen months, we will test and improve processes to make sure it works for everyone.
Advocacy Priorities
Emerge Australia’s existing advocacy priorities will inform and guide CAP involvement. These priorities are:
- ME/CFS research
- Clinical education for GPs and health providers
- ME/CFS and associated energy limiting diseases healthcare and patient support, including access to telehealth, allied health services and in-home care
- Equitable access to, and within, the NDIS and Disability Support Pension.
