Notice of winding up the
Australian Association of Consultant Physicians
The AACP has notified members that after long consideration, the AACP Council reluctantly has taken the decision that the Association should be wound up. The Council believes this is the only responsible course of action in view of the Association’s ongoing financial position and to ensure the Association does not end in a situation where it is unable to meet its financial commitments.
Advocacy
Campaigns
AACP plays an active role in advocating on behalf of its members to enhance the sustainability of consultant physician and paediatrician practice. Our advocacy campaigns focus on remuneration and workforce matters that are important to all practicing consultant physicians and paediatricians.
Telehealth MBS Items
Advocacy by the AACP and other medical organisations has now resulted in reinstatement of ALL Telehealth (video/telephone) items, at least up to 30 June 2022, including the items that enable specialist medical practitioners to provide Telehealth consultations to hospital in-patients when their doctor cannot attend the hospital due to COVID-19 restrictions.
Achievements
MBS items 132 and 133
The AACP achieved a significant win for consultant physician and paediatric practice with the introduction of two major Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) items – Items 132 and 133.
These items, together with item 110, are now the cornerstones of consultative medicine.
