Allied health professionals are health professionals that work parallel to the medical, dental or nursing professions.

They are University Qualified Practitioners with specialised expertise in preventing, diagnosing and treating a range of conditions and illnesses. Allied health practitioners often work within a multidisciplinary health team to provide specialised support for different patient needs.

Allied Health serves a critical function in the health care space.

It alleviates pressures on the medical system by supporting patients with specialist services, often focused on rehabilitation or prevention, that operate in a regulated, controlled environment.

For patients, it provides more robust care solutions that operate outside a medical infrastructure that is often slow moving and focused on medical priorities.
