Joint Statement: Working together to achieve sustainable high-quality health care in a changing climate

The Commission, the interim CDC and Australian medical colleges are committed to supporting clinicians to deliver high-value care that protects and promotes health in a changing climate. This includes training and supporting clinicians, particularly junior doctors, to request only appropriate tests and treatments and prescribe medicines safely and appropriately. We also recognise that clinicians have a role in advocating for sustainability and supporting communities to move to a clean energy future in an equitable way.

Work to minimise wasteful health care will not only reduce greenhouse gas emissions, it will improve patient care, decrease harms from overdiagnosis and overtreatment, minimise the physical and mental health impacts of climate change, and prioritise care for people who need it the most.
