Consumer and Community Involvement
The George Institute Australia is committed to connecting with members of the Australian community who share an interest in our research.
Experience and insights shared by consumers and communities are essential to our work, and our mission to improve the health of millions worldwide.
The George Institute is working together with consumers at all levels of our organisation – including:
- Advising our research leaders, executives and operational support staff on Consumer and Community Involvement (CCI) strategy and implementation
- Contributing to the development of CCI plans for our research programs
- Becoming part of research project teams
The George Institute, Australia provides infrastructure and support for consumers, researchers and other staff members
Consumer and Community Involvement (CCI) Program
The Consumer and Community Involvement Program supports CCI at the Institute by providing advice, guidance, and resources to consumers and researchers. The CCI Program facilitates partnerships between researchers and consumers; develops our consumer network; shares knowledge with relevant stakeholders; and supports the Consumer and Community Advisory Committee.

The future
The future CCI webpages (in development) and Consumer and Community Network Register are platforms that will assist with the sharing of information and provide more opportunities for consumers and community members to get involved.
