Submission: Draft guidelines for the provision of relevant services (health and related services)
SIRA NSW recently held a public consultation on the draft guidelines for the Provision of Relevant Services (Health and Related Services). Osteopathy Australia provided a submission recommending that wording in two sections is more tightly defined to reduce ambiguity and the potential for misuse. This included ensuring that training that SIRA may instruct providers to undertake is relevant to the provision of worker’s compensation care and the type of reviews undertaken are better defined.

Submission: Unleashing the Potential of Our Health Workforce – Scope of Practice Review Issues Paper 1 (Issues Paper 1).
In this submission, we focus on how the Scope of Practice Review should aim to achieve affordable and universal access to best-practice health services and value for the consumer and health system. Osteopathy Australia advocates for every Australian to have access to high-quality healthcare and support, regardless of where they live. Australians also deserve to have access to funded osteopathy. This will drive better health outcomes, improve the utilisation of our healthcare resources, and help overcome the inefficiencies in primary care. There is a significant opportunity within osteopathy to leverage existing skillsets and scope of practice to address system inefficiencies and reduce the burden on other health practitioners.
