The CCI Handbook

A practical, a step-by-step guide to moving from good intention to good practice.

This exciting new resource for embedding consumer and community involvement in health research was launched on 19 November 2021. Developed by the Western Australian Health Translation Network for the Australian Health Research Alliance, it is aimed at research organisations, researchers, consumers and funders.

This Handbook builds on the accumulated knowledge and expertise of many Australian and international knowledge-holders and translates decades of research in consumer and community involvement, and provides a very practical guide on HOW to embed CCI.

Users are encouraged to adapt and modify this Handbook to suit their own changing needs and circumstances and comes with a Quick Guide for those wanting a short reference version.
