Course Overview

Through this qualification, you will develop the essential skills and clinical knowledge needed to work in healthcare settings, such as hospitals, specialist and general practices, aged care facilities, dentists, and allied health professions.

As an Allied Health Assistant, you will be qualified to work under the direction of professional staff such as nurses, doctors, social workers, diversional therapists, physiotherapists, speech pathologists and occupational therapists, just to name a few.

Supervision may be direct, indirect or remote and you may be engaged to work in a specialty area or work generically across the organisation in delivery of allied health assistance services. This qualification also enables graduates, in conjunction with the allied health professional, to have responsibility for supervising other allied health assistance workers.

With our ageing population, increased focus on primary health care and the fast rate of growth within the industry, this qualification will provide continuing opportunities as roles associated with allied health will continue to increase. This nationally recognised qualification will be a rewarding career choice, but can also lead to many other opportunities and open the doorway to further career options in an allied health specialisation.
