SAAS / Unregistered Health Practitioners - aka Event First Aid and other providers
« on: March 19, 2013, 04:54:07 PM »

Looks like the providers delivering Paramedic, Event Medical and First Aid services who are not registered providers under the Health Care Act 2008 will fall into this new legislation, gazetted 14th March 2013.

"Unregistered Health Practitioners - Code of Practice".

That's right ...  all of those first aid and event medical "PARAMEDICS" will have to display the code, have appropriate qualifications  :-o (displayed) and also have Professional Indemnity / Public Liability Insurance covering exactly the scope of services they intend to provide.

SA Health finally tightening up.

Paramedic Registration only deals with part of the issue.  This expanded approach appears to be covering the gaps.

About time.
