Through recent lockdowns and disaster relief efforts, tradies have shouldered a lot, and while many workers have been doing it tough, tradies remain consistently over-represented in workplace injuries and mental health statistics.
August is Tradies National Health Month (TNHM) and the Australian Physiotherapy Association (APA) wants tradies to share the load and prioritise their physical and mental health.
The APA and Dementia Australia are calling for timely and ongoing access to appropriately funded physiotherapy for people living with dementia.
The Australian Physiotherapy Association (APA) has set out this National Reconciliation Week (NRW) to be brave and make change with their National President, a proud Palawa man, at the helm in the journey towards Closing the Gap and reconciliation.
A long-term vision for health is nowhere to be found this election campaign.
Optimal care relies on multidisciplinary teams working together and leveraging the skills of a range of health professionals.
Over 6 million cases of COVID-19 have been reported in Australia, with more than 7,600 tragic deaths
Statement from APA National President Scott Willis
The future of health care in Australia needs to be an election priority.
