From the CEO's desk

We welcome the focus National Cabinet is giving to system-wide health reform. It was reinforced at their meeting of Friday 28 April and demonstrated by the announcement of $2.2 billion in extra Commonwealth funding to improve access health care in the community when and where people need it.

Minister for Health and Aged Care Mark Butler elaborated on the urgency for action and the proposed direction of reform in his address to the National Press Club earlier this week, revealing more can be expected when the Federal Budget is announced on 9 May.

Reforming our health system is a priority long overdue. Our system faces mounting pressures. Ministers acknowledge that key components are no longer fit-for-purpose, and this is putting the entire system at risk. Existing gaps in access and service capacity – long evident and unresolved - must be addressed.

In early April SARRAH convened a roundtable meeting of rural and remote healthcare providers and workforce organisations. The roundtable identified the importance of building and maintaining multidisciplinary healthcare access for people living in across rural and remote Australia. From our various rural perspectives, we underlined the need for greater flexibility and collaboration as being essential to address sustainability, workforce, and program implementation barriers.

Based on roundtable discussions, SARRAH is calling for concerted action across three key areas to address the structural impediments to successful rural and remote service provision and outcomes:

1. Sustainable Resourcing
2. Workforce Development
3. Service Design Principles

Travel Safe,

For political and policy workers, advocates and nerds, the week before Budget can be something akin to the lead up to a grand final. Except when it’s done there are multiple winners and multiple losers and the members of each grouping may have little in common. Some winners will claim to be losers and others will win but not know it. Many of us won’t know the actual result for weeks for afterward.  It’s a brutal and confusing sport. Thankfully, we’re spared the pre-match team parade (…sort of).
 
One of SARRAHs friends and informants , very experienced in the space, has opined “…, advocacy actually is quite hard work, and needs consistency, vision and perseverance. That's how …xxxxx…  was won and that's how each step forward will be built (on pivotal moves).” It’s true. Source? You know who you are.   
This year, we’re in an unusual situation. The country faces debt levels that are off the scale in which doomsayers call for austerity in every area not directly benefiting them. Debt will be with us for decades and perhaps that’s the backdrop we needed to shift the will of governments to engage in reform on a scale we’ve needed in health for a long time. The timeframes we are looking at are longer, we are more aware that spending needs to support longer-term needs – i.e., investment.  Optimistically, it appears National Cabinet may be rising to the challenge.
 
National Cabinet (the Prime Minister, Premiers and Chief Ministers) met in Brisbane last Friday 28 April. The post-meeting media release issued by the PM said “National Cabinet met in Brisbane today to agree a national approach to a range of priorities for Australians, including making healthcare more accessible and affordable and better planning to ensure communities thrive as they grow. A Better Future for the Federation takes as its starting point that Australia can be more than the sum of its parts. That by co-operating more closely on everything from planning and housing to skills and services we can generate a multiplier effect for productivity gains and economic growth. First Ministers had constructive and positive discussions on key national priorities including health, the National Disability Insurance Scheme, the transition to net zero and strengthening national renters' rights. First Ministers agreed the federation should be a driver for practical and meaningful reform, not a barrier.”  A substantial package of health reforms were announced. 
 
Primary health reform ….
Minister Butler expanded on the reform priorities and direction in an address to the National Press Club on 2 May 2023 - to quote:   The second foundational change in a stronger Medicare is to enable a more multi-disciplinary and team-based approach to primary health care. Chronic conditions are the leading cause of illness, disability and death in Australia. Treating them effectively needs more than just the occasional, sporadic visit to the doctor. Patients with chronic conditions need a coordinated team of health workers proactively working together with them for their long-term health. This includes GPs, allied health, nurses, specialists, and everything in between. Which means primary care providers need support and investment to engage a broad range of health professionals to provide that more comprehensive care.
 
The time has come to develop new funding models that supplement fee-for-service. And it begins this year, with the launch of something called “My Medicare” General practices will be able to register with My Medicare, so that patients can register with their preferred GP at that practice. Over time, My Medicare will also be extended to nurse practitioners and other primary care providers. Patients will gain a stronger relationship with their health care teams and will get access to more consistent care, …. My Medicare is the foundation upon which we can build a range of blended funding models to better serve the needs of patients that fall through the cracks of our 1980s Medicare. …. These are people with complex, chronic conditions that aren’t getting the comprehensive, team-based care that they need out in the community.”
 
Of course, we also need more detail and serious changes in how policy is developed and implemented – notably with and for rural and remote communities. We also need the agenda to be developed and delivered on over decades, but we seem to be past most of the denial that fundamental change is needed.
 
The response has been, in the main, very positive.  The AMA and RACGP have welcomed the strong push to bolster medical General Practice. While there is greater acknowledgment of the entire (primary) health workforce, there’s little suggestion of a shift from the centrality of GPs in primary care. Nursing groups have welcomed extra training places. In terms of direct support for allied health care and distribution, we can hope for more in the Budget.  The Government is suggesting an increase in the Workforce Incentive Program (WIP) available to GPs to employ nurses and (at least nominally) allied health professionals is promised, but to date there has been little to no information available about the extent WIP is used for allied health or had any impact.  If WIP is to be deliver a significant improvement in access to allied health care it will have to be very different from the existing program and, we hope, involve rural allied health representatives and practitioners in its development.  We hope it will.
The Australian Health and Hospital Association welcomed National Cabinet’s approach as a shift toward a person-centred and sustainable healthcare system. 'The early announcement of a $2.2 billion package in the 2023 federal budget measures to address immediate challenges in primary care is welcomed,' says AHHA Chief Executive Kylie Woolcock. 'The need for integrated, team-based models of care has been promoted for decades, yet effectively operationalising them at scale has continued to allude our system. 'Sector-wide attention is needed across a broad range of areas to enable team-based care. The measures that have been announced reflect some of the important enablers - commitment to our workforce working at top of scope, funding models that incentivise value over volume, and investments in digital health.' AHHA also noted that ‘Both globally and here in Australia, there is significant evidence for the outcomes that can be achieved with skill-mix innovations, but the evidence for how best to implement and scale these new models of care is comparatively less.’ ‘With these shared priorities and commitments, we urge governments to ensure that the system is set up to learn from the roll out, said Ms Woolcock. ‘Initiatives must be focused on improving outcomes of all Australians. Funding must be sufficiently flexible to allow for local contextualisation and sustained beyond short-term pilots to attract and support the necessary workforce. ‘Evaluations must identify critical features in the models of care, as well as the context in which those models are implemented, that are needed for success. And findings must be made available publicly so the whole system can continue to build and learn.” Makes sense.
 
While the Commonwealth is moving on Medicare and primary care reform, there is much too happening and needing to happen across other jurisdictions.  Readers may be aware of the current consultation the Tasmanian is holding on the exposure draft of their Long Term Plan for Healthcare in Tasmania 2040. (Submissions close 19 May.)  We’ve mentioned Tasmanian a few times in recent months: why?  Notwithstanding work underway in other states, developments in Tasmanian illustrate the breadth and timeframe of action needed to improve access and service capacity in a jurisdiction that has faced difficulties not unlike the experience of much of rural and remote Australia.  The plan is part of a broadly based consultation and review process; the timeframe is 20 years, with action happening now; parties are working to better integrate and step across the barriers between primary and tertiary health care and the inter-government delineations that have plagued access and continuity of careit is paying less regard to the traditional split in responsibilities that have dogged the interface of public and primary health system at the expense of people, continuity of care system efficiency for years; the education and training systems are being engaged in helping to building local Tasmanian workforce and development pathways; critically – we see a State and Federal Government, from “opposite sides” working collaboratively and enabling flexible innovation; It doesn’t hurt that the Premier is also the Health Minister.  
 
Chapter 6 of the draft Plan (from page 69) –describes developments in allied health professional education, supporting expanded roles for nurse practitioners and more. One example of what Tasmania is proposing - which aligns with the reform themes National Cabinet is promoting is in paramedicine (see page 74):
Across the public and private health sectors there is increased opportunity to expand paramedic roles in hospital and community settings. Recent amendments to Tasmanian legislation amendment has enabled the term ‘paramedic’ to be appropriately recognised outside of an ambulance services authority.
Not everyone might agree. There will be opposition, although hopefully not displayed so vehemently as by some major medical and pharmacy bodies in their current hostilities. There always seems to be some expression of the ironic view that enabling full and expanded scopes of practice in “my” profession always makes sense (while keeping the bits that stop me getting to use my more specialised skills) while applying it to other professions rarely makes sense and risks catastrophe – even if that means people in need have no access at all.  
 
If you want a further update on primary health care developments, the Deputy Chief Medical Officer (Primary Care), Professor Michael Kidd, is releasing a regular Primary Care Newsletter
 
Also on 28 April, National Cabinet considered and approved the release of the Independent Review of Overseas Health Practitioner Regulatory Settings – Interim report.
 
National Cabinet also consider the future of the NDIS ….
The NDIS remains demand-driven, however, “the NDIS Financial Sustainability Framework agreed by National Cabinet, provides an annual growth target in the total costs of the Scheme of 8 per cent by 1 July 2026, with further moderation of growth as the Scheme matures.”  A target essentially means policy levers will be pulled to contain outlays to this level. For National Cabinet to agree to it implies the approach is for continued funding and better targeting of NDIS funding, with states and territories delivering more disability services (outside the NDIS) so that pressure on the NDIS eases. As Minister Shorten regularly says – it’s important that the NDIS isn’t the only boat in the ocean.  See the media release following the meeting.  And from the PM (transcript) from the media interview after the meeting.
 
JOURNALIST: The NDIS growth target will cost tens of billions of dollars. Can you outline how you are going to achieve that? Will you need to cut services? PRIME MINISTER: We are going to make sure that the NDIS continues to deliver for people with disabilities. That is our focus. Our focus is making sure that the position is sustainable. And if you look at the projections of costs, one of the reasons why the states had their cap on their costs of four per cent was that was the expected increase. What we have agreed is that we will look towards, by the end of the forward estimates, in four years’ time, that growth in costs of being eight per cent. No-one is talking about any cuts here. We are talking about growth of eight per cent annual. It is still a substantial growth. We know that there has been some fraud in the scheme. We know that there is various things that need to be looked at, in order to ensure that every dollar of taxpayers' money, that Australians can have the confidence that it's going into improving the lives of people with disabilities, not going into the profits of a provider of equipment that's increased the costs by many times because it's been approved for use in the NDIS, for example.
 
Not surprisingly, whenever there is concern across the community among supporters of the NDIS about what a target for contained growth means in practice.  Many readers will be aware of the organisation Every Australian Counts.  They are responding to the concern and, among other activities, holding a series of community forums.  You can find out more here.  
 
In the context of the NDIS  Review it is critical that the reasonable costs and purpose of quality and enabling allied health services are well understood, by participants funders and the community.  The perception that AHPs are among the opportunists taking advantage of the scheme is potentially very damaging, not only for allied health practitioners and policy that ought support it, but for participants if support for those enabling therapies and services are inappropriately reduced.  This transcript of an interview by the ABC with Minister Shorten illustrates the risk.  SARRAH touches on the issue in this week’s podcast.  Without going into details of the particular case mentioned, the NDIS – unlike most other forms of social support the actual cost of providing supports (in health, aged care, other disability services etc) is not evident to the consumer, because it is met by the government, service provider etc.  Unfortunately, even where the cost presented to a participant is legitimate (or even under-costed) it may appear unduly high – at least by comparison to other (directly subsidised) services accessed by the participant. 

• It is vital that the NDIS Review, government and participants have a clear and informed basis on which to gauge service costs, so that effective and beneficial therapies and support are not misconstrued, under-valued or wiped.  If you’re interested in contributing to SARRAHs advocacy in this area please let us know – allan@sarrah.org.au.  

Aged Care developments ….
Big news this week is that the Commonwealth Government will be covering the cost of the 15 per cent pay increases for 250,000 aged care sector workers at a cost of $11.3B over four years.  The details are provided in this press release from Minister Wells and this transcript with Minister Wells and Treasurer Chalmers.
 
The Department of Health has also provided advice on their webpage - Better and fairer wages for aged care workers | Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care.  It is not immediately clear whether the wage rise will apply to AHPs or AHAs who are employed directly by the aged care provider.  We have sought advice from the Department. 

Not surprisingly, a range of aged care providers, representative bodies, as well as associated unions, welcomed the announcement. Improving pay and conditions for workers in the aged care sector has long been recognised as a major problem for the sector, not least in attracting and keeping skilled and capable people in the sector.  Some aged care providers welcomed the announcement, suggesting the measure will enable them to provide the conditions they wanted to offer the workforce.  Some nursing and worker organisations suggest the funds might go directly to the workers rather than to providers, possibly pointing to an issue that probably needs more explicit focus:  the diverse quality, priorities and approaches of providers across the aged care sector. 
 
Put simply – some providers motivations align more closely with community expectations of aged care and the expectations inherent in the findings of the Aged Care Royal Commission (ACRC) than do others.  This is cause for reasonable concern.  SARRAH has regularly reported feedback from members, on comments made directly to SARRAH and elsewhere that allied health services in aged care are not seen as a priority or requirement.  This has been evident since the introduction of the AN-ACC but there was a major decline in reported allied health provision before that. 

• We know of members losing contracts (and not knowing whether alternative, quality services are being arranged for residents and other aged care recipients who need them.
• We know businesses are being cut and are under strain and that people are losing jobs.
• Given the additional funding the Commonwealth has found to support core aged care provider operations, surely there is some expectation that the standards of care – including allied health provision where it is needed – will be delivered and every effort will be made to deliver those services.
