A tough day for the #physio community losing one of our own in a tragedy that will affect the community and profession. My condolences to the family, friends, community, and work colleagues. #sadday

Investment in preventative health and non surgical interventions will free up hospital beds for those in need, and improve the consumer journey and outcomes. That is health reform - let’s fund that now! @apaphysio @amapresident @RACGPPresident @Mark_Butler_MP

We need to be brave as a health system and look at new funding models, new models of care, reduce barriers to access and all improve the consumer journey. We all need to sing the same song and have the consumer at the center of the management of OA! #ItsTime @apaphysio @AOA_ortho

Thank you @janet_rice for your kind words. And these falls are preventable, by a structured Physio lead exercise program - 55% reduction! Think about the impact on the families and return on investment. No Australian should be left behind! @apaphysio @AnikaWells @Mark_Butler_MP
Janet Rice@janet_rice25 Aug 2022
Replying to @janet_rice
Physios provide vital services in keeping older people in good health, particularly in preventing falls, so this is really concerning: "You have got 5000 people dying every year from falls. It is the leading cause of mortality for older people.

We all want the consumers to have the right treatment, at the right time by the right person with minimal financial and structural barriers. That is true contemporary health reform and should be front and center for our leaders and the PHC Taskforce. @apaphysio @ian_hickie

It’s time we took it serious and be proactive. An integrated, multidisciplinary fully funded pathway to allow all Australians access to a management plan that they deserve. @apaphysio @Mark_Butler_MP @amapresident @RACGPPresident @CroakeyNews @abc730

@apaphysio calls on all states, territories and @AlboMP government to not leave any Australian behind! #LongCovid is real - reducing productivity, adding to the health crises, impacting all Australians but we still don’t acknowledge it as a medical condition. @RACGPPresident

Preventative and Primary health care is essential in the sustainability of a contemporary health system. New models of care, more efficient consumer pathways, and future focused is what @Mark_Butler_MP needs to tackle! It’s time for true health reform. #physio
