Live Q&A with Chat: GST Advocacy Update
The application of GST on exercise physiology services is confusing and frustrating. ESSA is hosting an information session to shed some light on the topic and provide an update on advocacy activities. The conversation will answer questions on why Accredited Exercise Physiologists must pay GST and why it is taking so long to get this policy changed. Additionally, an update will be provided on what ESSA has been doing to shift the dial on this issue and how ESSA accredited professionals can get involved. Register online for this free session which will be held at 5.30pm (AEST) on Monday 22 April. This learning activity will provide the opportunity for ESSA accredited professionals to learn about:
History of the GST
Mechanism for GST reform
ESSA's actions so far
Next steps for advocacy
How ESSA accredited professionals can get involved
