When might I see an Allied Health Assistant?

You may be recommended to see an Allied Health Assistant if:

  • You have an existing treatment or exercise plan developed by an Exercise Physiologist, Physiotherapist or Occupational Therapist that can be implemented by an Allied Health Assistant.

Before your first appointment with an Allied Health Assistant, you must complete at least two sessions with either an Exercise Physiologist, Physiotherapist or Occupational Therapist.
