Background/aim
<p>Private providers of <hi rend="fc">M</hi>edicare funded services are an integral part of the <hi rend="fc">A</hi>ustralian primary health‐care system. Evidence on private occupational therapy practice in rural and remote <hi rend="fc">A</hi>ustralian settings is sparse.</p>
Methods
<p>Providers of private occupational therapy services in outer regional and remote areas were surveyed regarding location and type of services provided, practice models and demographics. Descriptive statistics were used to summarise the findings.</p>
Results
<p>Thirty‐seven respondents completed the survey. In remote areas a number of occupational therapy services are not provided and no practices are based in very remote towns. One quarter of respondents visit at least five towns each week and one third had other paid employment. Nearly half indicated they will leave private practice within the next five years and nearly one third believed they could not sustain their practice. Medicare Chronic Disease Management was the main income source of only around half the respondents.</p>
Conclusions
<p>There is a potential market failure of private occupational therapy in rural and remote areas, impacting on people who need these services and on workforce replacement. Contributing factors include population imbalance between cities and regional/remote areas, financial implications where only face‐to‐face contact is paid for and low incomes and levels of health insurance in regional/remote areas. Potential strategies include addressing the lack of reimbursement for travel, enabling private providers to overcome barriers to providing student placements and recognising rural practice as a specialist field.</p></abstract><textClass><keywords><term xml:id="aot12042-kwd-0001">primary health care</term><term xml:id="aot12042-kwd-0002">private practice</term><term xml:id="aot12042-kwd-0003">rural/remote</term></keywords><classCode scheme="articleCategory">Research Article</classCode><classCode scheme="tocHeading1">RESEARCH ARTICLES</classCode></textClass><langUsage><language ident="EN"></language></langUsage></profileDesc></teiHeader></istex:fulltextTEI><json:item><extension>txt</extension><original>false</original><mimetype>text/plain</mimetype><uri>https://api.istex.fr/document/9529A2F338B64BE1589504E4F1C56FF1336CD3EB/fulltext/txt</uri></json:item></fulltext><metadata><istex:metadataXml wicri:clean="Wiley, elements deleted: body"><istex:xmlDeclaration>version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"</istex:xmlDeclaration><istex:document><component type="serialArticle" version="2.0" xml:id="aot12042" xml:lang="en"><header><publicationMeta level="product"><doi origin="wiley" registered="yes">10.1111/(ISSN)1440-1630</doi><issn type="print">0045-0766</issn><issn type="electronic">1440-1630</issn><idGroup><id type="product" value="AOT"></id></idGroup><titleGroup><title sort="AUSTRALIAN OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY JOURNAL" type="main">Australian Occupational Therapy Journal</title><title type="short">Aust Occup Ther J</title></titleGroup></publicationMeta><publicationMeta level="part" position="40"><doi origin="wiley">10.1111/aot.2013.60.issue-4</doi><copyright ownership="thirdParty">Australian Occupational Therapy Journal © 2013 Occupational Therapy Australia</copyright><numberingGroup><numbering type="journalVolume" number="60">60</numbering><numbering type="journalIssue">4</numbering></numberingGroup><coverDate startDate="2013-08">August 2013</coverDate></publicationMeta><publicationMeta level="unit" position="70" status="forIssue" type="article"><doi>10.1111/1440-1630.12042</doi><idGroup><id type="unit" value="AOT12042"></id></idGroup><countGroup><count number="12" type="pageTotal"></count></countGroup><titleGroup><title type="articleCategory">Research Article</title><title type="tocHeading1">RESEARCH ARTICLES</title></titleGroup><copyright ownership="thirdParty">© 2013 The Authors Australian Occupational Therapy Journal © 2013 Occupational Therapy Australia</copyright><eventGroup><event date="2013-03-09" type="manuscriptAccepted"></event><event agent="SPS" date="2013-03-25" type="xmlCreated"></event><event type="publishedOnlineEarlyUnpaginated" date="2013-06-24"></event><event type="firstOnline" date="2013-06-24"></event><event type="publishedOnlineFinalForm" date="2013-07-28"></event><event type="xmlConverted" agent="Converter:WILEY_ML3G_TO_WILEY_ML3GV2 version:3.8.8" date="2014-01-04"></event><event type="xmlConverted" agent="Converter:WML3G_To_WML3G version:4.6.4 mode:FullText" date="2015-10-01"></event></eventGroup><numberingGroup><numbering type="pageFirst">276</numbering><numbering type="pageLast">287</numbering></numberingGroup><correspondenceTo>Correspondence: Judith Merritt, Centre for Remote Health Research, Department of Rural Health, Broken Hill University, P.O.

Evidence on private occupational therapy practice in rural and remote Australian settings is sparse.</abstract><abstract>Providers of private occupational therapy services in outer regional and remote areas were surveyed regarding location and type of services provided, practice models and demographics. Descriptive statistics were used to summarise the findings.</abstract><abstract>Thirty‐seven respondents completed the survey. In remote areas a number of occupational therapy services are not provided and no practices are based in very remote towns. One quarter of respondents visit at least five towns each week and one third had other paid employment. Nearly half indicated they will leave private practice within the next five years and nearly one third believed they could not sustain their practice. Medicare Chronic Disease Management was the main income source of only around half the respondents.</abstract><abstract>There is a potential market failure of private occupational therapy in rural and remote areas, impacting on people who need these services and on workforce replacement.
