Osteopathy Australia has recently formally responded to the ABS’s Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO) comprehensive review.
ANZSCO provides a standardised collection, analysis, and dissemination of occupation data for Australia and New Zealand. Significantly, osteopaths are currently grouped together at a unit level with chiropractors which we have argued for separation. As this grouping is no longer significant, nor does it benefit either profession in representation, definition or in workforce planning strategies.
The key recommendations of our submission included:
Osteopathy Australia's Pre-Budget Submission to the Federal Government for 2023-24
A submission providing the association's response to the Disability Royal Commission into Violence, Abuse, Neglect, Exploitation of People with Disability for the Department of Social Services (DSS).
In this submission, we focus on how the current health workforce distribution levers are ineffective and not inclusive of allied health professionals or the wider health workforce.
