Are you looking for a way to help serve your community? Would it be a bonus if you could get paid for it?
Health Consumers Queensland (HCQ) is committed to allowing women to use their voice and provide community & consumer perspectives on topics that affect our community.
As women, and mothers within our community, it is easy to get caught up in the busy nature of our day to day lives, as we try and juggle home and work responsibilities, as well as taking the time to enjoy our family and social life.
It is however, our ability and experience juggling all of these roles, that makes us uniquely qualified to provide important insights and opinions on topics that affect our community.

HCQ are currently seeking expressions of interest from Metro North Hospital and Health Service (MNHHS) for two representatives for two different committees.

• Metro North Women’s & Children’s Stream Steering Committee (2 representatives)
• RBWH Women and Newborns Service Line Executive Group (SEG) (2 representatives)

 All roles will be considered for Tier 1 Level Payment, as per the MNHHS policy, with expenses reimbursed.

Health consumers and community members who would like to express interest in joining this committee need to:

•  Register as a member of HCQ's Consumer Network. If you are not already a member you can fill in this form and return it to [email protected]
•  Email a completed Expression of Interest form to [email protected]  by 5pm, Fri 27 March 2015.

Are you looking for an opportunity to showcase your skills in a way that allows you to give back to the community?
Imagine doing this, as well as meeting and working with some amazing women at the same time!
Sounds great, right? We would love for you to join us at our AGM later this month and show you how you can do exactly that!
An opportunity exists for you to help set the direction of Friends of the Birth Centre for 2015, and be a part of helping to create events such as the 20th Birthday party of our wonderful Birth Centre.
There are so many ways that you can help, from cake stalls, helping out at the Pregnancy, Babies & Children's expo, advertising, contributing your voice to our online magazine, and so much more!
Any contributions are welcome, whether large or small, and we encourage as many of you as possible to come and join in the discussion.
So come and see us on January 31st and find out how you can help!
Let's get ready for a fantastic 2015 for Friends of the Birth Centre!

Do you love the Birth Centre? Did/are you having a positive experience with your lovely midwives? Then you have important things to share! The Pregnancy Babies & Children’s Expo is coming to town on Friday 20th to Sunday 22nd June and we need your help!

This year, we’ll have a stand at the Brisbane Expo so we’re calling for volunteers to help spread the word and share your Birth Centre experience – we only need an hour or two of your time. We’ll make sure you have all of the information you need and are hoping some of the lovely midwives will come along too. Babes in arms or carriers are always welcome.

If you can, please email [email protected] especially if you can help on the Saturday.
​
Thankyou!!
