Allied Health Assistants

Alfred Health’s Allied Health Assistants (AHAs) support allied health professionals to provide care through therapeutic sessions, helping with administrative work, equipment provision, and education. We have a presence in and work with a variety of allied health departments across all Alfred Health sites, so our team have many opportunities to gain new clinical skills and find work that is most meaningful to them. Wherever we work, our AHAs play a key role in ensuring patients receive personalised, effective and timely care.

We have roles that are discipline-specific and multidisciplinary and as part of our Allied Health Assistant team of over 100 people from a wealth of personal and professional backgrounds, you'll have the opportunity to make a real impact on patient care while being part of a fun and supportive workforce.

We work alongside many of our Allied Health Professional colleagues, including:

• Physiotherapy
• Occupational Therapy
• Speech Pathology
• Social Work
• Dietetics
• Psychology
• Podiatry
• Orthotics

Working as an AHA at Alfred Health allows you to expand your knowledge and skills, and make a difference in the lives of our patients across the whole continuum of care.
