The recommendations from the NTREAP (Natural Therapies Review Expert Advisory Panel) into natural therapies and private health insurance are publicly available on the Department of Health’s website. These are recommendations to the Health Minister, and the Minister is to change.
We are thrilled that the Panel has recommended both Naturopathy and Western herbal medicine be eligible for private health insurance benefits again.
We are not counting our chickens until the Federal Health Minister acts. However, we are so proud of all the work the NHAA, and our members have done to advocate for this outcome.
We will keep you posted on any further updates.
