It’s not official till it’s twitter offical- I’m a Doctor! Hardest, but best thing I’ve ever done. Thanks @CMHR_ANU - very proud to be a graduate of the centre

@Tari_Turner @jhjelliott @TendalBritta @SaskiaCheyne @dafraile @josh_vogel @MelissaMurano @SamanthaC_22 @AlexPPoole @mirandacumpston I learned so much from working with everyone who put so much love and passion into the consumer panel. Thank you for being such champions of inclusion and for getting me through my first chairing gig. Forever grateful

Wonderfully put @drnitinkapur - definitely a step in the right direction

[Prof Nitin Kapur @drnitinkapur]

@abcnews A step in the right direction. Australia has one of the worst paid parental leave entitlements in the developed world so far. @TheRACP @DrJackiSmall @DrNiroKennedy @rkrandall

@LeanneWells63 was an amazing first CEO to work with, and I’m so grateful she and Jo took a chance on a PhD student with no policy experience. Thank you so much Leanne, grateful for your kindness and leadership

Today @CHFofAustralia farewelled @LeanneWells63 as its CEO Leanne has made a huge contribution to advancing the inclusion of the consumer voice in health reform and improvements. It's been great to be along for the ride.

The genuine appreciation of consumers in this piece is exactly what I’ve experienced as co-chair of the taskforce consumer panel. It’s an absolute privilege to be part of such a wonderful group

@DrJinRussell They work with where the whole family is at when recommending next steps. Eg, realising I have an academic background so giving me references, and papers. But for a different parent, keeping it simple (whatever that is for that family)

Australia has the second-worst paid parental leave scheme in the developed world. “The evidence shows that exclusive parental care fosters improved maternal and child health with improved developmental outcomes for the child” says @DrJackiSmall

@JoannaFarmer Random pop in to Twitter to say Alyssa is fabulous (as are you!). I don’t know that Alyssa has Twitter, but her colleague @drmbanfield does :)

[Rebecca Randall @rkrandall]

@_wild_world I doubt they would know how (but can try when I’m next in!)

@JulieLeask Having been hospitalised for rotavirus at 9 months and still having scars from chickenpox in the early 90s, it blows my mind that my 10 1/2 month old will likely experience neither (I’m only 32!)
