Seeking member feedback – Draft RACP Position Statement on Physician Assistants/Associates
Feedback deadline | COB Monday 19 October 2026
Members will be aware of growing debate about the role of Physician Assistants/Associates (PAs) in the Australian and Aotearoa New Zealand health systems. The RACP has developed a draft binational Position Statement covering workforce planning, patient safety, training and supervision, regulation and equity.
We urge members to share your views on the draft before it is finalised. The short survey takes about 10 minutes, and most questions are optional, so you can skip any you'd rather not answer.
With your input we can make sure the final Position Statement reflects members' views and strengthens our advocacy on this important issue.
