The close collaboration between the Secretariat, the Members and other stakeholders is what drives our advocacy through conversations, meetings, targeted consultations and public consultations. We provide an authoritative voice for the consumer healthcare products industry in various forums and in Federal and State Parliaments. For example we represent and advocate for members on numerous multi-stakeholder groups, including the following:
Members of CHP Australia have access to industry decision making through our internal subcommittees, working groups and teams which cover regulatory, advertising, and marketing & ethics issues. The work of these groups contributes to policy, regulatory change and positioning. Other outcomes from this work include training and development programs, events and industry awards.
The CHP Australia team provides free consultation and advice for Members (within reasonable limits) on regulatory, advertising and scientific matters.
Members receive regular newsletters containing industry news and regulatory & scientific information from around the world. When important developments occur, CHP Australia alerts members and keeps them updated as the issue progresses. The Members-only area of the website contains a wealth of regulatory, industry and marketing information.
CHP Australia Members meet their peers, suppliers and service organisations at events throughout the year. The CHP Australia Gala Dinner & Industry Awards is a highlight of the event calendar and is well-attended by the consumer healthcare products industry. Breakfast and Afternoon Seminars provide an opportunity to meet key figures, including politicians and regulators, while learning about topical issues facing the industry.
