Welcome to ACCEssCR's flagship CCReW event for 2025.
On the 12-13 Aug 2025, AccessCR will host a virtual Awards event to showcase and celebrate excellence in consumer partnership and participant experience in health and medical research in Australia.
Why?
First, because it's what our community asked for - a platform to celebrate and empower CCReW. CCReW stands for the Community and Consumer Research Workforce - our nickname for the people taking part in research, and partnering in research activities, to ultimately help improve health outcomes for others in the future.
Secondly, every day we hear stories of excellent practice and impact in consumer engagement and involvement in research. However, those stories are not always in the public domain. We want to celebrate great practice and inspire the community and researchers to realise the potential that working together provides to achieve better, faster outcomes from research. "Better Together'.
This event will be provide a unique platform for showcasing the contributions and impact of consumers to research. Though there will be Award winners, in our view, every story, every action, is a step in the right direction to fully embedding the consumer voice in research. As such, all video entries deemed to add value to the knowledge base around what's possible and what's happening in Australia will be made public in due course as a resource for learning and sharing.
We are eternally grateful to all the people and organisations that have rallied behind this event, and invite you to become one of them.
