The day will focus on developing the 2020 Strategic Action Plan as well as presentations on the collaborative ifarmwell initiative; Optimising Quality Allied Health Service Provision in NDIS Business Contexts; and, an update from the Chair, Australian Allied Health Leadership Forum.

The aim of the event is to inform, develop and promote practical action to increase the size and sustainability of rural and remote allied health practice, in the private and community sectors (including where practitioners work between and across sectors).

Invitees include Ministers and/or their representatives; senior officials and policy makers; rural practitioners; major service organisations/employers/service commissioners; allied health educators/universities; members of the Australian Allied Health Leadership Forum (AAHLF) and members of the SARRAH Board.  We will be bringing 30-40 key stakeholders together to advance this agenda and promote coordinated and effective action.

DATE – Friday, 28 February 2020

TIME – Full Day Event – Indicative Time 9:30am – 4pm

VENUE – University of Canberra, Bruce ACT (at the University Hospital)

Along with the Executive Officer, we have an opportunity for an additional ACDHS delegate.  Please contact the secretariat no later than midday Monday 24 February if you would like to attend. The delegate will need to fund their attendance.

The Australian Allied Health Leadership Forum (AAHLF) is leading a strategy to develop a national approach to communication/messaging/engagement related to Allied Health to support broader workforce advocacy.  Within the context of

• allied health’s voice is not influential enough;
• allied health as a modality is not deeply enough embedded in the system; and,
• the value of allied health practitioners is not consistently understood by the community

an externally facilitated workshop will be held in Melbourne on Tuesday 24 March, 8.30-12 noon.  As a member of AAHLF we have 3 places available for members who would like to attend. Please respond to secretariat@acdhs.edu.au if you are interested.  Places will be allocated on a first come first served basis.
