There has been zero, zilch, zip, nada, gar nichts, in the way of meaningful medical reform of the Class 2 in Australia. NONE. Just a very small re-organisation of CASA's administration thereof leaving Australia way out of step with the USA and the UK.

I agree with you, except for the bit I snipped.
On medical certification ‘reform’ AOPA suffered an embarrassing episode of what doctors call ‘premature congratulation’. Have a look at the conditions on the instrument of delegation here:

Effectively, the DAME’s clinical opinion is dictated by CASA. Then there’s all the scary stuff about professional indemnity insurance. And here
https://www.casa.gov.au/standard-pag...ter-april-2018 the PMO says: “This authorisation is provided under CASA delegation
CASA 26/18. Please make sure you read all the conditions and understand your obligations in relation to exercising this delegation
(it is important to note that although you will be a delegate of CASA, you are not indemnified by us.” [bolding added]
Amazing the PMO didn’t mention CAAP Admin 1 here:
https://www.casa.gov.au/file/104516/...token=2TL92Ahp that says, at page 5, that CASA will indemnify non-CASA delegates.
