Your chance to tell PSR what you think!

Professional Services Review (PSR) exists to protect the community and patients from the costs and risks of inappropriate practice. To do this, we rely on the support of the health care professions.

Please take a few moments to fill out this survey. It will tell us what you know about PSR, what you need to know, and how we can help. We would also like to hear any suggestions you might have about how we could do better. Your input will be anonymous.

Thank you.

What do you know about PSR?

The PSR scheme involves (click as many as you think are true):

  Requests from Medicare Australia to PSR to review practitioners' conduct
  Review of practitioners by peers from their specialty or profession
  Examination of patient records
  Opportunities for practitioners under review to tell their side of the story
  The possibility of disqualification from the Medicare scheme
  The possibility of repayment of Medicare benefits
  The possibility of referral to medical boards or professional associations
  The option for practitioners under review to appeal to the Federal Court
  The opportunity for practitioners under review to have their lawyer/support person with them at a PSR hearing

'Inappropriate practice' means practice that would not be acceptable to the general body of the profession:

Agree
Disagree

Publicising findings of inappropriate practice and the sanctions imposed acts as a deterrent to other practitioners:

Agree
Disagree

Publicising PSR's activities helps raise awareness about the risks and consequences of inappropriate practice:

Agree
Disagree

I think the sanctions imposed for inappropriate practice are:

About right
Too harsh
Too soft
