AHPA welcomes a review of allied health MBS items. A variety of allied health professions not currently recognised under the MBS play critical roles in the management of chronic conditions and improving the overall health and wellbeing of those living with chronic disease.
However, access to allied health is imperative to improving consumer health outcomes, and AHPA remains concerned that five sessions is woefully inadequate for those with complex chronic conditions.
We look forward to actively participating in the working group, driving positive solutions that increase access for all consumers living with chronic disease and recognise the value and scope of allied health.
