Dear supporters, we are so close to 10,000 signatures, and Vickie and I are so grateful to have your support.

It would mean the world to us if we were able to reach 10,000 signs by the end of the weekend. Click here to help grow the petition.

In case you've just come on board, here is an overview of my story.

I was severely injured following medical treatment in 1990 and 11 years later I lost my court case. Late last year I joined forces with injured patient and strong advocate, Vickie Veitch, after she shared her story with the media.

Together we started this petition calling for change. We are fighting to shine a spotlight on a broken system that prevents the majority of Australians who suffer healthcare injuries from receiving compensation.

We are reaching out seeking support from people in the medical profession, the legal profession and in government. For the first time in decades it feels as if it might actually be possible to get our voices heard.

If you think injured patients deserve to be acknowledged and compensated, please help grow the petition by sharing it widely.

Warmly,

Sarah
