24.01.2022 Please see attached the most recent letter to stakeholders from Professor Michael Grigg dated September 4 2018.



18.01.2022 Check out this fantastic submission. Well said Dr Jon Ryan.

15.01.2022 Whilst it is fantastic that the AMA is supporting our cause, we still face a very tough battle. Please everyone click like on the Surgeonline posts regarding the MBS review. It is imperative that we get the message out to our surgical assistant colleagues and unite as a strong force. There will be further calls to action this week as our fight now transitions into the second and possibly most important phase. The political arena. ... Stay tuned... Please Click like and keep spreading the word!

11.01.2022 Please see attached the submission by the AMA regarding remuneration for surgical assistants. However, I reiterate that despite all of the great submissions we have seen coming in supporting our cause, it is vitally important that if you work as a surgical assistant that you join the MSASA by registering at www.msasa.org.au if you have not already done so. The MSASA needs numbers to strengthen our position. ... Also if you are a surgical assistant or a surgeon who stand to be negatively impacted by these proposed changes, we call on you to write a letter or email to you local federal minister to make them aware of what is being proposed. Remember to focus on how this will affect the constituents of your political seat. Increased out of pockets. Decreased rebates for patients. Increased complexity. Waste of tax payer money to affect negative change. Loss of transparency. Loss of safeguards. Decreased operative safety. Disempowerment of a strong patient advocate. No convincing evidence. Please don’t delay. Act now.



08.01.2022 Dear Surgeonline members, The next phase of the fight to save independent surgical assisting is for everyone to write to their local federal MPs. As a medical professional you are a well respected member of the community so it is vitally important that your voice is heard. Politicians need to be made keenly aware that Australians stand to lose the benefit of having a team of doctors separately bound to providing them with a direct duty of care when they have an operation.

08.01.2022 The MSASA Executive is working diligently with the broader profession to provide a very clear message of opposition to the bundling proposal and a formal submission is to the submitted to the MBS Taskforce this week. Thanks to all the Surgeonline members who have joined the MSASA in the past few weeks. To those of you who haven't joined yet, please don't delay, we need all of our voices heard. Immediately. MSASA members are unanimously opposed to the PRC's recommendations a...nd are calling on all members to participate in support of our position. Doctors writing to the [email protected] may wish to emphasise the following points among other points they wish to make: Opposition to the proposal. The probability of increased cost, complexity and confusion for both doctors and patients that would result from the proposal. The current risk management model for medical procedures involving surgical assistants has helped produce world standard surgical practice and should not be disturbed. The professional working relationship of surgical assistants, surgeons and anaesthetists commits them separately and as a team to a direct duty of care to the patient. This maximises individual and joint responsibility to the patient as all doctors have a direct legal duty of care to the patient. Transparency, outside emergencies, all patients have a right to know the identity of their doctors directly involved in their procedure. IFC for each medical professional highlights this transparency. Any move to reduce surgical assisting rebates as envisaged in the proposal will result in increased out-of-pocket costs for patients. Any move towards bundling is a step down the slippery slope to US style Managed Care. Surgical assistants are individual independent medical professionals. They are not the property or servants of health funds, hospitals, or other doctors. They owe a direct duty of care to the patient as medical professionals. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it! In the next day or two, we will be contacting our members to coordinate a mass communication to our local federal politicians. We will be stepping it up a notch so please stay tuned. Please also click "like" on all of these MBS review related posts as we need to spread the word. Our future depends on it.
