Member benefits for optometrists winding down

As our members approach the later years of their optometry career, in addition to relying on the members services valued equally by their practising colleagues as they reduce their practice hours, they are also typically looking for different benefits, such as:

  • Premium professional indemnity insurance that provides you with the freedom and peace of mind to hang up your ophthalmoscope at a time that suits you, knowing that you are covered for life, with guaranteed one on one support in the event of a claim.
  • Tailored advice via our member hotline for support and guidance across all aspects of your professional exit strategy including selling your practice or franchise, handing over the care of your patients, winding down your AHPRA registration and Medicare agreements.
  • Continued inclusion in high quality, free and heavily discounted CPD and networking events to keep in touch with your colleagues and professional interests.
  • Opportunities to influence the future of your profession through leadership positions, member forums and expert panels.
