Evidence from multiple countries now demonstrates the effectiveness of Physiotherapists placed in emergency rooms... legislation needs to be updated to allow this to become standard practice

So…you can’t see physio or SEM on the weekend for an acute sports injury without GP referrals but GPs aren’t working on the weekend, and if you negotiate this hurdle you pay most of the visit cost out of pocket because of the poor rebates.

Thirdly, Medicare rebates for physios have always been poor and for chronic conditions only. SEM registrar rebates have literally been frozen for 30 years and Medicare rebates for SEM specialists are currently lower than they were 20 years ago. smh.com.au/sport/australian-…

Secondly, making most GPs rely on bulk-billing and removing weekend loading for rebates (when GP practice is only borderline viable on weekdays) means that it is not economic for most GPs to even open on the weekend.

Firstly, the rule that physios and SEM physicians must have a GP referral to these practitioners in order to be seen under Medicare. So you can’t see physio or SEM on a weekend for an acute injury under Medicare without seeing a GP first.

How does Medicare specifically stop acute musculoskeletal conditions like sports injuries from being treated acutely by the actual experts, such as sports physiotherapists and Sport & Exercise Medicine (SEM) physicians? @ACSEP_ @president_apa

Of all the things the female MPs talked about / disagreed upon in #MsRepresented, this is the story almost ALL of them told, in almost identical terms. Might ring a few bells outside politics too.
