Also, from 1 November 2021, new Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) items are available for eligible allied health
practitioners participating in multidisciplinary case conferences with medical practitioners.

1. Discuss the important contribution of general practice in facilitating access to allied health services for residents with dementia and other complex medical needs
2. Recall key elements of the new Allied Health Services in RACFs – COVID Allied Health Package
3. Describe the new temporary GP and OMP MBS items for multidisciplinary care planning and health assessments, and locate the fact sheet for more information
