Submission: Seeking approval of the osteopathic profession to work within the WA workplace rehabilitation sector
We have lodged a formal submission for the recognition of the osteopathic profession within the Western Australian Workplace rehabilitation Scheme as a part of the Modernising WA's Workers Compensation Laws public consultation.
UPDATE: Unfortunately, this submission has been unsuccessful with WorkCover WA stating that there currently is no perceived gap in the provision of rehabilitation services to injured workers and thus they do not wish to broaden the group of professions able to provide these services.
Osteopathy Australia will continue to advocate in this space as appropriate.

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.
