Australia is one of the most litigious countries in the world. With optometry’s widening scope of practice, complex patients and time pressures, Optometry Australia takes PII protection very seriously. Membership with Optometry Australia means you are automatically covered under our premium Professional Indemnity Insurance (PII).
The initiative coincides with National Close the Gap Day on Thursday, 19 March, recognising the ongoing inequities in health outcomes between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non-Indigenous 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.
