Join your allied health community

The Allied Health Academy is a unique space where the allied health workforce can connect and thrive in dedicated communities of practice, outside of the disciplinary and funding silos that hinder collaboration and growth.  

We champion both individual advancement and wider systemic improvement through our comprehensive offerings: 

  • Professional development coursesDeveloping skills, expertise and networks for members through professional learning programs, with support from experts and peers to embed and translate knowledge into practice. Short, self-paced online courses are also available, designed to quickly upskill members to meet professional or workforce opportunities and challenges. 

  • Communities of practice: Facilitating collaboration on systemic and special interest issues for allied health at local, regional and global levels through our, interactive community of practice model. Joining a community of practice allows access to extensive resources, including webinars hosted by international experts in allied health, and opportunities to engage and connect with a supportive peer discussion platform.   

  • Bespoke professional and training solutions: Enabling associations, health facilities and other businesses to leverage specialised professional packages for developing their teams. Corporate clients can secure private, dedicated spaces within our platform to host training initiatives and professional development goals for their communities or associations.
