OneFishTwoFish Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 From the AAPA Facebook page: "Working in OzPAs can now work in Queensland, Australia. Last month, the Queensland Department of Health issued guidelines on "Physician Assistant (PA) Clinical Governance." This now means PAs can work throughout the health sector in this state.Thanks to PA Rod Hooker for bringing this to our attention." http://www.health.qld.gov.au/qhpolicy/docs/gdl/qh-gdl-397.pdf I'm an Aussie citizen and would love to work there one day (a while down the road...). Anyone know of good resources for employment opportunities/job boards for Oz? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akdEM Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 I just kind of skimmed it, but it sure looks like PAs in Australia will have a lot better laws than we do good ol' Kentucky... It would pretty cool to be able to work in Australia someday. EDIT: I just read the list of Practice Exclusions. Maybe the laws there aren't any better than here, but I guess you have to start somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneFishTwoFish Posted December 20, 2013 Author Share Posted December 20, 2013 Yeah, one thing I noticed was PAs there are not allowed to sign off on worker's comp or DOT physicals. Darn ;) Another thing I noticed is it says "Physician's Assistant" in some spots and "Physician Assistants" in others... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
