Advocacy
Safeguard
The battles we fight today safeguard ophthalmology practice for tomorrow.

protection
We work to protect clinical autonomy and patient rebates.
IT’S YOUR RIGHT TO SWITCH
OUR PRIVATE HEALTH INSURANCE SWITCH CAMPAIGN
Is your private health insurance performing for you?
In 2018 the ASO launched the ‘It’s your right to switch’ campaign to remind every Australian who pays for private health insurance that they can switch funds if they don’t feel they are getting value for money.
The Private Health Insurance Act 2007 protects consumers who want to change to another hospital policy with the same insurer or with another insurer.
