Availability of other health services
 (5) Another object of this Act is to contribute towards the availability of certain health services in Australia by providing Commonwealth assistance to support access by persons who practise allied health professions to arrangements that indemnify them for claims arising in relation to their practices.
 (6) The Commonwealth provides that assistance under this Act by:
 (a) meeting part of the costs of large settlements or awards paid by organisations that indemnify persons who practise allied health professions; and
 (b) meeting the amounts by which settlements and awards exceed insurance contract limits, if those contract limits meet the Commonwealth's threshold requirements.
