#MindTheGap
At Better Access Australia we advocate for the gaps in the Australian healthcare system with a focus on high quality, evidence-based solutions.
Find out more about our key areas of priority below.
Opioid Dependency Treatment Program
Better Access Australia advocates for a reform of the Opiate Dependency Treatment (ODT) program.
Patients should be placed at the centre of the system in accessing an essential form of treatment.
Newborn Screening
It is time for governments to act on the growing gaps in newborn screening.
Australia’s newborn screening programs were once world leading but now lag behind international best practice. Australian governments must act on and invest in the protection newborns against rare diseases.
Health Technology Access
Health technology is an expanding field with exciting possibilities for transforming people’s lives.
We must ensure better and faster access to these technologies
Disability Services
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) was a once in a generation reform.
In order to realise its full potential for people with disabilities, ongoing reform and policy advocacy is required.
Private Healthcare
Better Access Australia acknowledges the intrinsic role that private healthcare plays in the Australian system.
We believe that consumers of private healthcare deserve genuine advocacy.
