Allied Health Support

There are a number ways that we work with and support local allied health professionals. 

Opportunities

Allied Health Clinical Council (AHCC)

Our Allied Health Clinical Council advises the Board on recommended strategies to address region-wide issues facing AHPs, while also considering the unique needs and concerns of each local community.

AHCC represents AHPs within each LGA, ensuring all AHPs have an opportunity to share their concerns and ideas, regardless of their location in urban, outer urban, rural and remote communities.
