Allied Health

Allied health professions are distinct from nursing, medicine, and pharmacy. Allied Health professionals provide a range of diagnostic, technical, therapeutic, and direct patient care and support services, applying their expertise to prevent disease transmission, diagnose, treat, and rehabilitate people of all ages. Our services include:
Dietetics
Dietitians contribute to the promotion of health and the prevention and treatment of illness by optimising the nutrition of populations, communities, and individuals. They have a defined and recognisable body of knowledge and utilise scientific principles and methods in the study of nutrition and dietetics, applying these results to influence the wider environment affecting food intake and eating behaviour. Currently unavailable.
​​Physiotherapy
Physiotherapists are healthcare professionals who diagnose and treat individuals with medical problems, illnesses and injuries that limit their ability to move and to perform functional activities as well as they would like in their daily lives. They are also involved in  preventative programs, helping people to maintain fitness, maximise movement and functional ability. 
​Podiatry
Podiatrists are healthcare professionals who have been trained to diagnose and treat conditions of the feet, ankles and lower limbs. They treat and alleviate a wide range of common conditions, such as thickened toenails, fungal nail infections, corns, and calluses; as well as foot problems arising from underlying medical conditions such as diabetes and arthritis.
