Introduction
In 2007 the Certificate IV in Allied Health Assistance qualification was introduced to enable the utilisation of a growing number of the support level health workforce, including Allied Health Assistants, to assist with the delivery of quality health services across a broad range of allied health streams, settings and clinical environments to meet a rising need in healthcare.
Although the AHA role was not a new one, there seemed to be a lack of understanding of the specific roles, skills and contributions that AHAs can make to patient outcomes and service design. To provide information and guidance for development of the AHA role and improved utilisation of the AHA workforce the Victorian Supervision and Delegation Framework for Allied Health Assistants was developed.
The full Framework can be accessed by using the link below.
