Consumer Self‑Advocacy Workshop – Understanding Your Healthcare Costs

Understanding how medical billing works is a powerful form of self‑advocacy — and it starts with knowing your rights, asking questions, and learning how to make sense of the system.

Join us for a friendly and practical workshop with Dr Margaret Faux, one of Australia’s leading experts in Medicare and medical billing.

This session is designed especially for consumers who want to build their confidence and learn how to:

• understand what you can be charged

• navigate Medicare and read item numbers in simple terms

• check what has been billed to your Medicare account

• know how private health insurance fits into healthcare costs

• ask questions about costs before and during appointments with confidence

• feel more in control of your healthcare decisions

This is a relaxed, welcoming space — perfect for anyone who wants to better understand the health system and feel empowered when making healthcare choices. No prior knowledge is needed.

Bring your questions, your curiosity, and join us for this informative workshop.

Please note: This session will provide general guidance and information only. We are unable to resolve or investigate individual personal billing issues during this workshop.

Available both in person and online. All consumers welcome.
