About Melissa Fox

With almost fifteen years as a consumer representative/advocate, Melissa has seen firsthand the positive impact that consumer engagement has on health outcomes for Queenslanders. She is passionate about challenging health services to go beyond “tick-a-box” engagement and empower consumers to partner meaningfully in order to design, deliver and evaluate health services which provide safe, integrated consumer-centred care. Melissa believes a good health system is one in which:• Everyone is working to eliminate waste and inequality• Consumers can make informed and evidence based decisions about our care• Patients and our families are always treated with respect and dignity • Robust safety and quality systems protect us• Transparent, timely public reporting of meaningful data including patient experience and outcomes measures allows us to choose who and where we feel safe to receive care
