The website The Australian Health Consumer  covers a broad range of issues including health financing, privacy, patient safety, quality use of medicines, clinical standards, and general practice. It provides a consumer-focused appraisal of the current and ongoing major health issues of the day and is essential reading for all those who wish to keep themselves up to date on the issues of concern to those people at the heart of the health system - health consumers.

The Working Carers Support Gateway project aims to provide information and support to low income and isolated carers who are juggling both caring and workplace demands. The website offers a range of resources to provide support on the run to busy carers. This is a new service initiative developed by the Disability and Aged Information Service Inc (DAISI) based in Lismore NSW in partnership with NSW Health under its Carer’s Program.
