Allied Health Students
We welcome secondary school students to experience what it is like to build a career working in our highly skilled and highly varied roles across Allied Health.
Our work experience placements are based at one of our three hospital campuses (The Alfred, Caulfield Hospital, Sandringham Hospital). The week of placement sees students move between a variety of our professions, that they’re able to appreciate the diversity of our disciplines, and the way we work together to help our patients.
Students may experience:
- Patients being assessed and receiving therapy in the hospital wards after surgery or illness
- The multidisciplinary healthcare team working together to enable patients to be discharged home safely from hospital
- Patients being seen in specialised outpatient clinics
- Patients being fitted for a splint or with equipment to help them regain their independence
By the end of the program, students will have a good understanding of what allied health professionals do and have observed what it is like to work in a large public hospital service. We hope these experiences inspire students along a journey to become healthcare professionals.
