The Australian Government has prioritised recommendations to improve primary care. This includes a review of barriers and incentives for health practitioners to work to their full scope of practice.

The Unleashing the Potential of our Health Workforce, Scope of Practice Review began in September 2023, led by Professor Mark Cormack, a highly accomplished health system and public policy executive and the former chief executive of Health Workforce Australia. The release of Issues Paper 2  marked the beginning of the third phase of the review and another opportunity for the public to submit their views. 

In partnership with the Consumers Health Forum of Australia, Professor Cormack invites health consumers to attend a webinar where he will provide insights into the findings from Phase 2 of the consultation and the proposed solutions. Individuals are encouraged to submit any questions they have to be answered as part of the webinar when registering.

Following the webinar, there will be a two hour roundtable for consumers to share their thoughts on the release of Issues Paper 2 on Monday June 17th 2024, 10:30am - 12:30pm AEST. To participate in the roundtable, consumers will need to have watched the webinar, either live or on demand.
