Restore Health Fund Rebates to Accredited Natural Therapists -
We Need Your Support!
CALL TO ACTION: Help restore private health fund rebates for natural therapies. Click the link below, share your thoughts & we will email Minister Hunt, your Federal MP and state Senators on your behalf.
Following a huge public outcry via YHYC prior to the 2019 Federal election, the Minister for Health, Greg Hunt, ordered a 'review update' of 16 natural therapies with a view to reinstating rebates. The new review was scheduled for completion by 2020.
Instead, it has become buried in red tape and won’t be finished for years – if ever. Even then, there's no guarantee rebates will be restored for all, if any, natural therapies. The Government is hoping no-one’s noticed.
Minister Hunt has already set a precedent by allowing Massage & Myotherapy to keep attracting rebates, despite the previous government review reporting there was ‘no conclusive evidence’. The public and private health insurers are now asking for a level playing field across all natural therapies.
With a Federal election just around the corner and the Government lagging in the polls, NOW is the time to have your say and ask Greg Hunt MP and your Federal MPs to restore rebates for natural therapies.
It’s what the community and private insurers want. Tell the Government to stop interfering!
More than ever, it is imperative that our community stands together to support small business, to protect the future of health choices in Australia and to help reduce the burden on the public health system.
