Know your healthcare rights
The Australian Charter of Healthcare Rights describes the rights that consumers, or someone they
care for, can expect when receiving healthcare. Healthcare rights cover: access, safety, respect, partnership, information,
privacy and the right to give feedback or make a complaint.
These rights
apply to all people in all places where healthcare is provided in Australia.
This includes public and private hospitals, day procedure services, general
practice and other community health services.
The Charter's 1st Edition was endorsed by health ministers in 2008. The Second Edition, launched in 2019, is a great tool for all healthcare consumers.

Hands-free Storage Shoe Remover
We often find ourselves carrying something upon entering our household. Removing shoes without the aid of our hands is beneficial for posture, overall cleanliness and when our hands are full with items. While some products similarly exist there is currently a gap in the market for ways to store shoes afterwards - to be protected and organised to prevent cluttering. I propose to design and produce an innovation that will allow users to put shoes on and off while storing them neatly in compartments, hands-free. This product will work with various styles and shoe sizes meaning it’s accessible for everyone.
