Registration with the Osteopathy Board of Australia is now open for graduates who are set to finish their studies in the next three months.
Applying before you finish your studies means the Board can start assessing your application while you wait for your graduate results. Remember registration with the Board is required before you can start working as an osteopath – and means you can work anywhere in Australia.
Find out more on the Board website at https://bit.ly/3SjA7KF and Ahpra's website at https://bit.ly/earlyAHPRAreg for more information on how to apply for your registration. These links provide useful information and guidance on what to do when and how and include a video that sets out the process clearly and simply.
Osteopathy Australia’s submission to SIRA NSW on the draft State Insurance and Care Governance Amendment Regulation 2022 which supports the amendments made recently to the State Insurance and Care Governance Act 2015.
The current Aged Care Quality Standards (current Standards) were introduced on 1 July 2019. In response to recommendations from the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety, the Department of Health and Aged Care (the Department) has reviewed the current Standards and developed the draft strengthened Aged Care Quality Standards (strengthened Quality Standards). The strengthened Aged Care Quality Standards will replace the current Standards.
In this submission, we focus on ensuring that allied health professionals, particularly osteopaths, are considered as part of the broader fall prevention team. This includes the suggestion to remove the reference to individual professions that may assist in fall prevention strategies and create an overarching inclusive statement involving all musculoskeletal allied health professionals.
