Submission: 2021 NSW SIRA motor accidents: post implementation review of the Authorised Health Practitioner Framework

Infant orofacial conditions such as tongue tie are complex and require interdisciplinary care. Osteopaths working with infants and their caregivers manage the neuromusculoskeletal implications of orofacial conditions for the neck, head, back and posture. This practice briefing for health stakeholders describes good practice in osteopathic management of orofacial conditions, other health professional groups osteopaths work with for management, and practice advice Osteopathy Australia offers its members working in the field to promote infant health and development.

We recently made a submission to the open consultation on the Fall Prevention Guidelines. Our feedback ensured that osteopathy is recognised as a key part of the musculoskeletal allied health multidisciplinary team.

The team attended an information session led by senior provider engagement at the NDIS. The session focused on support roles within the NDIS, NDIA decision making and funding, using the MyPlace provider portal, the transition to the new PACE system, processes and record keeping.
