Who is missing out on the right to health?
On the 27 September 2022, in collaboration with the Human Rights Law Centre, a panel of experts explored the right to health. We should all have access quality healthcare when we need it, regardless of our bank balance or postcode. However, in Australia this is not always the case. This includes people living with disabilities, older people, and people in remote and multicultural communities.
Learn more about how a Charter of Human Rights would be a powerful tool to help Australians uphold their right to health.
Panellists: Mohammad Al-Khafaji, Keren Adams and Paul Harpur
Chair: Amy Maguire
