To all of our members, we write to you today feeling positive and grateful for the results achieved thus far in clarifying the position that our professions hold in the broader health care landscape.
It is with great pleasure that we can finally advise that all states are now in agreeance and all manual therapists, Remedial and Myotherapists, can now resume work if they choose to do so.
In what can only be described as a roller-coaster of emotions over the past month, we, the Australian Natural Therapists Association are absolutely elated to announce Myotherapy is permitted in every state and Remedial Massage is permitted in every state except Tasmania. We are hopeful that we will also have a green light from Tasmania shortly.
We continue to advocate on your bahalf - our members, our community.
Great news for Queensland manual therapists with a statement being released late yesterday by the Queensland Department of Health, ruling Massage Therapy are permitted services in Queensland going forward.
In a small win for Tasmania, we yesterday received notice that Myotherapists are permitted to practice in a health or medical facility.
Since our first joint statement on 26th March 2020, the landscape continues to be ever changing. The joint Associations have been working tirelessly in order to provide all members the facts and will continue to seek clarity from both Federal and State Governments as to the direction orders for Therapeutic, Remedial Massage and Myotherapy services in each individual state.
