Over the years the Institute has been involved in many strategies and initiatives on behalf of the members and the private practice profession. These included the following:
Negotiating private health fund rebates. South Australia was only the second state to obtain private health rebates in 1982.
Development and maintenance of the First National Schedule of Fees and Services in 1985. This schedule has formed the basis of other national schedules and is used as the basis for the Gazetted Psychology Fees and Services by Workcover SA.
More recently the institute has been, and continues to be, involved in:
Negotiating increased Fee Rebates and Improved Schedule of Services for Psychologists and the IPPP contributed to the development of TREAT support resource for clinicians with RTWSA clients.
Negotiating Psycho-legal Schedule and Recommendations.
Advocating for endorsement for private practice.
We welcome members involvement and experience, if you would like to get involved in any of the above projects please contact us.
