• All practicing optometrists who are providing services directly to consumers.

Why?

•  The survey findings will assist AHPA and the Agency to develop and deliver relevant resources,
  training and support needed to make it easier for you to understand, connect with and use digital
  health products such as My Health Record, Provider Connect AustraliaTM (PCA) and e-prescribing.

By participating, you will provide valuable insights that will:

• inform the development and implementation of change and adoption strategies to enable your
  profession to connect to (and use) digital health products effectively; and
• increase the digital literacy of optometry and other allied health professionals.

What happens with your answers?

• All data in this consultation process is confidential.
• Your responses will be submitted to the Agency and collated and stored securely by the Agency in
  accordance with the attached Notification of the collection of personal information and associated
  privacy policy.

  Note: Survey repetition is planned to enable evaluation of the support provided over time. If preferred,
  you can complete the survey without providing your email address, your information will still be
  immensely helpful to informing policy, strategy, and advocacy at this time.
• Data will be securely shared and stored with AHPA for the purposes of collation, analysis and reporting
