The Australian Council of Deans of Health Sciences (ACDHS) is establishing a national Allied Health Clinical Education Community of Practice to strengthen clinical education across Australian universities.
This new network will bring together academic and professional staff to share practice, build evidence, develop shared resources, and advance national priorities in areas such as placement models, simulation, supervision, student readiness, evaluation, and workforce outcomes.
Get Involved
ACDHS invites staff from member universities to join as either:
- Leadership Group members — help set priorities, guide activities, and support national collaboration.
- Community of Practice members — connect with colleagues, share knowledge, and contribute to projects without taking on a leadership role.
Who Can Apply
Open to academic and professional staff involved in — or interested in — clinical education, including placements, WIL, simulation, supervision, evaluation, research, and partnerships. Expertise is not required; enthusiasm and collaboration are what matter.
