From 2010 to 2012, the Sector Workforce Planning Unit of the Department of Health conducted a seminar and workshop series with key guest speakers to engage with and encourage sector partners to understand the need for change, to think about and act on workforce reform, disseminate key findings and examples of success, build reform momentum, and strengthen and facilitate relationships with the health, education and training sectors. A summary of the three years of communications activities is now available.

The Growing your allied health assistant workforce planning tool (the planning tool) provides health and community services with a staged approach that can support the identification and implementation of new or amended allied health service models that utilise allied health assistants. The planning tool was designed to sit within and support the Supervision and delegation framework for allied health assistants.

The Supervision and delegation framework for allied health assistants case studies provide examples of a range of allied health assistant (AHA) roles across a number of service settings. The eight case studies describe how different health and community services from across Victoria identified a service need and expanded their allied health services through the utilisation of AHAs.
