ACCPA strongly supports primary care professionals working in the aged care sector to work at their top of/expanded scope of practice to deliver a range of primary care services to older Australians, where clinically appropriate and safe to do so, and where this is not currently occurring.
ACCPA notes this scope of practice review will explore the available evidence of the benefits of health practitioners working to their full scope of practice and will identify opportunities to remove barriers preventing health professionals from working to their full scope of practice.
