Workforce

Optometry Australia recently spoke with Elise Pocknee-Clem and the optometry group at Eyre Eye Centre to gain insights into the role of financially focused KPIs in optometry practices.

Yesterday, many of optometry’s most influential leaders, researchers, educators and changemakers came together for Shaping the Future of Optometry Together, Optometry Australia’s inaugural Optometry Leaders’ Summit to explore solutions to the profession’s most pressing challenge: sustaining a robust workforce that meets Australia’s eye care needs now and into the future. 

A new workforce projections study commissioned by Optometry Australia has been released, providing critical insights to support workforce planning.  

Optometry Australia recently spoke with independent optometrist, Murray Smith, to explore whether, in his experience, financially focused KPIs genuinely improve optometry business outcomes.

Optometry Australia has submitted its response to the Australian Government’s consultation on the Draft National Allied Health Workforce Strategy.

Optometry Australia takes the increasing concern about workforce oversupply in optometry very seriously. With new optometry graduates facing challenges in securing employment and growing evidence of an expanding workforce, we have again made a formal submission to the Federal Government’s Occupation Shortage List (OSL) survey.
