New guide for locum optometrists
If you are a locum optometrist, or engage locums, Industry Legal Group (ILG) has released a new guide for Optometry Australia members, containing legal advice when entering into a contract for service.
We regularly rally our members to help ensure that all our Federal representatives understand the important role of optometry and what is necessary to secure a sustainable and effective eye care system accessible to all Australians.
We believe it is imperative that all political parties recognise the contribution of optometry and support optometrists’ mission to meet the changing needs of our population by embracing a rapidly advancing clinical, technological and communications landscape.
We need your help to broadcast our key messages and we welcome your interest in joining our campaigns.
In the lead up to the 2019 Federal Election, several hundred members of Optometry Australia made their thoughts very clear through a concerted and sustained campaign that saw over 4,000 pieces of communication delivered to sitting federal parliamentarians. The campaign was designed to support Optometry Australia’s key election policy priorities, calling on the next Government to support our vision for a sustainable and effective eye care system accessible to all Australians.
In the spirit of reconciliation Optometry Australia acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respects to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
