Why Support the AACP?
These are just some of the reasons to support the AACP.
Representation
The AACP represents all consultant physicians and paediatricians in relation to government inquiries, reviews and changes to the health system. This involves extensive work in developing and presenting submissions on behalf of the consultant physician and paediatrician workforce. All Australian consultant physicians and paediatricians benefit from the AACP's work.
Negotiation
Through the AACP’s representations with the Australian Government it successfully negotiated the two attendance items, 132 and 133, for use by all consultant physicians and paediatricians. These were the first two new attendance items for consultant physicians and paediatricians in 20 years.
Commitment
The AACP is committed to ensuring Medicare items best reflect the Medicare services you provide and that Medicare benefits available to your patients are appropriate. This involves gaining new attendance items as well as appropriately expanding access to existing items.
Direction
The AACP strength is in a unified approach that supports all consultant physicians and paediatricians. The AACP still has much to achieve on your behalf.
Show your support
The AACP needs support from many more of the consultant physicians and paediatricians it represents. Your membership fee goes directly towards representation of your interests to ensure your patients receive appropriate benefits for your services. This requires an ongoing effort and resources to maintain recognition of the consultant physician and paediatrician practice.
