Ahpra and the Optometry Board of Australia have released an advance copy of the revised Supervised practice framework, designed to make it simpler, quicker, and cheaper for internationally qualified health practitioners to work in Australia.
Recent media coverage has raised serious concerns about workplace pressures, commercial expectations and patient care in parts of the optometry sector. Optometry Australia takes these concerns seriously.
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.
