Aged Care Bill 2024
The association provided feedback to the open consultation on the Aged Care Bill 2024. The Bill was introduced into Parliament on 12 September 2024. Once it is passed into law, the Aged Care Bill 2024 will become the new Aged Care Act.
Our feedback
The feedback we provided was broken down into five main areas of concern, including:
- Osteopathy is omitted from the allied health team
- Subordinate legislation
- Integration with existing schemes
- Definitions of clinical care and quality care
- Training and education

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.
