The Allied Health Expansion program is creating new opportunities to better support the Allied Health labour force needs in Tasmania.
We are:
- Making access to allied health education easier for Tasmanian, Australian and Overseas students
- Preparing graduates for current and future allied health practice with a focus on improving public health and contributing to system innovation and reform
- Preparing graduates for interprofessional practice in metropolitan, regional, rural and remote communities and professional practice across the health, education and disability sectors
- Supporting career and professional development opportunities for allied health professionals in Tasmania
New programs will include:
- Physiotherapy
- Occupational Therapy
- Speech Pathology
- Exercise Physiology
Our commitment to supporting student entry into our programs:
Students will have the option to enter our allied health programs through either the Undergraduate - Postgraduate linked course pathway, or through a Postgraduate direct entry pathway.
Each allied health program will:
- Dedicate places for Tasmanian and interstate students who are eligible for Commonwealth Supported Places (CSP)
- Dedicate places for overseas students, who will enrol as Full Fee Paying Onshore (FFPOS) students
- Support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander candidates to access and study
- Support rural and remote background candidates to access and study
- Enable students to study close to their Tasmanian hometown
