Why Lived Experience Matters
At Collaborative Aotearoa, we believe that those who use healthcare services have direct insights into what works, what doesn't, and what could be improved. CLEAR ensures that:
Whānau-Centred
Our models of care are designed around the needs of whānau, not systems.
Authentic Voice
Real experiences inform our decisions and shape our direction.
Equity Focus
Perspectives from those most affected by health inequities guide our priorities.
