With the 2025 Federal Election approaching, Optometry Australia is committed to ensuring that eye health, and optometry, is firmly on the policy agenda.
Last year, we informed members that as part of the Federal Budget 2024-25, the Commonwealth Government would implement recommendations made by the MBS Review Taskforce relating to optometry items. These changes have been confirmed and come into effect from 1 March 2025.
Optometry Australia’s 2025 Federal Election campaign, Eyes on Medicare, officially launched today, with coverage featured in The Australian.
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.
