The Consumer Health Forum of Australia supports power outage planning for safety and wellbeing, especially for those using medical equipment in the home.

The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners has provided advice and feedback on the Life Support Power Outage Plan to help general practitioners (GPs) provide their patients with healthcare which meets the needs of their unique circumstances.

This initiative is supported by the Energy Charter and was co-developed in consultation with: the Life Support in the Home Lived Experience Panel; our Community Outcomes Group (made up of health and customer representatives); and energy businesses through the #BetterTogether Life Support Customer initiative. See the list of organisations involved here.

The Energy Charter brings community and consumer representatives together with energy businesses to help put people at the centre of the energy system.
