Episode 5 - Registration: To Be or Not To Be!
TO BE OR NOT TO BE REGISTERED......THAT IS THE QUESTION?
The debate surrounding AHPRA registration has often floated in and out of forum discussions, MA events and over a friendly cuppa. However the COVID pandemic seems to have fueled that fire and very much brought it to the forefront of discussions again, particularly as it seems many governments often default to AHPRA registered health professionals when considering who can and cannot practice during the various lockdown stages.
So what does it mean to be a registered profession? And can we truly move forward as a health profession if we are not? Read more about 'what is registration' at https://www.myotherapy.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/What-is-Registration-myotherapy.pdf
Is registration the holy grail to solving all our challenges faced as an emerging health profession? From endorsed care plans to GST, private health rebates, allied health lists to myotherapy specific item codes, must we be a registered profession to gain access?
And if it's not AHPRA, what is the answer?
Join our host and Myotherapy Association Australia CEO Anna Yerondais as she chats with CEO's of Osteopathy Australia - Antony Nicholas and ESSA - Anita Hobson-Powell to discuss what it means to be registered and what self-regulation means.
This is a discussion you do not want to miss.
