Consumer and Community Involvement Program

The CCI Program was established to ensure meaningful and fit-for-purpose involvement of those most impacted by health research, as guided by the NHMRC statement on Consumer and Community Involvement: “The active involvement of consumers and community members in health and medical research benefits the quality and direction of research. Consumer and community involvement is about research being carried out with or by consumers and community members rather than to, about or for them. The CCI Program recognises the valuable insights and expertise of those with lived experience and that members of the community can contribute to all areas of research. The Program supports the integration of consumer and community members in all levels of health and medical research. Role of Consumer and Community Involvement program The CCI Program is a centralised support service for consumers and researchers. It provides the following services for the George Institute: Advi
