AACP MEMBERSHIP
The AACP is your advocate that promotes your interests and those of your patients.
As an AACP member, you support the important ongoing advocacy work relating to the professional, workforce and economic interests of consultant physicians and paediatricians, and their patients.
Reasons to Join
Strong Advocacy
The AACP is regularly invited to provide input and advice to government inquiries, reviews and changes to the health system relating to consultant physicians and paediatricians. The AACP’s broad agenda focuses on quality health care for your patients, and ensuring Medicare items best reflect the services you provide.
Proven Success
The AACP is committed to ensuring Medicare items best reflect the Medicare services you provide. Through the AACP’s successful negotiations with the Australian Government you have two attendance items, MBS items 132 and 133, for use by all consultant physicians and paediatricians. This achievement continues to support your practice today.
Collective Strength
