Join our free information sessions during Get Online Week. Health Consumers Queensland (HCQ) is proud to support Get Online Week, an initiative of Good Things Foundation to encourage free events across the country between 14-20 October 2024. As this coincides with National Carers Week, HCQ will host fun, user-friendly interactive information sessions for consumers and carers to discover the benefits of getting online to find helpful information, connect with key health services that are important for carers, and learn from other carers who will share their experiences and tips. Getting online to find the help you need can be daunting, but HCQ is here to help and, joined by carers from our member network, we will host 2 sessions online which carers and consumers from anywhere in Queensland are welcome to attend. HCQ will host TWO online sessions on 15 October and 16 October 10.30am to 11.30am. On October 15 we will be hosting live from Ipswich Central Library, and a community hub will link in from Tully Support Centre. If you would like to join from one of these hubs, contact the HCQ team and we can connect you with your local Get Online Week community hosts! OUR HOSTS: Chanelle Moar and Heidi Jones from HCQ will co-host the sessions with carer representatives Georgia Railton-Stewart, Carol Mock and Caroline Polak Scowcroft from HCQ’s own member network who have years of experience with the health system between them to share with helpful tips, tools, and resources. The information sessions will be fun, user-friendly and interactive to encourage all participants to ‘have-a-go’. The sessions will help attendees to: - find and access health information and resources important to them; - use online tools to connect with others; - understand their healthcare rights, and; - discover how consumers are sharing their own experiences with the health system to influence change and improve services. Do you have a question about getting online for our session hosts? Submit your question ahead of the session when you register.

When you’re in an emergency, you want to make things as smooth as possible. If your important documents are lost, damaged, or you can’t find them quickly, it can add even more difficulty at a time where you don’t need any extra stress.

It can also make it easier to navigate any legal problems that might follow after an emergency. This online event will introduce you to Justice Connect and Telstra's self-help tool - Get ePrepared. In this session you will learn how to identify your important documents, which electronic storage option works for you and how to make electronic copies of your important documents.
