IAHA is a national organisation that enhances the allied health sector in Australia by providing support, training, and maintaining networks.
They do this in a culturally appropriate manner to improve the standards of allied health.
On Thursday morning, a team from IAHA was at Battery Hill to give senior high school students a glimpse into the work of allied health workers.
The students had the opportunity to experience speech pathology, stroke rehabilitation, and first aid, which are all critical aspects of improving patient outcomes. This experience may inspire some students to consider pursuing a career in allied health.
