3. medical practitioners
4. nurses and midwives
5. optometrists
6. osteopaths
7. pharmacists
8. physiotherapists
9. podiatrists, and
10. psychologists

On July 2012, four additional professions joined the National Scheme:

1. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health practitioners
2. Chinese medicine practitioners (including acupuncturists, Chinese herbal medicine practitioners and Chinese herbal dispensers)
3. medical radiation practitioners (including diagnostic radiographers, radiation therapists and nuclear medicine technologists), and
