Allied Health Advisory, Assurance and Consulting
The allied health sector is notable for its variety and complexity but there are rich opportunities too.
Australia’s 195,000 allied health practitioners make up about a quarter of the total health workforce. The variety of professional practice includes physiotherapists, dieticians, optometrists, podiatrists, speech therapists, audiologists, chiropractors, osteopaths, and occupational therapists.
Along with the variety of different disciplines, patient demographics and payment sources vary considerably too. Some patients with relatively straightforward needs recover after a few sessions and usually pay with their private health insurance.
Other patients live with complex, long-term conditions and may need ongoing care from a multi-disciplinary team that includes several different allied health professionals. Funding for such patients comes from a plethora of sources including Medicare, the NDIS, the Department of Veterans Affairs or My Aged Care.
Allied health consists of an extensive range of service providers which include:
- Osteopaths
- Physiotherapists
- Optometrists
- Chiropractors
- Occupational therapists
- Dieticians
- Audiologists
- Speech therapists
- Podiatrists;
to name a few.
