19.01.2022 The next NCAHA Hub meeting is coming up. Rural Allied Health Workforce: Challenges, Ideas and Opportunities. Tuesday 17th November 4-5pm. https://sbp.org.au/ncaha/... Together our speakers represent a wealth of experience and insight into rural Australian healthcare, and particularly with regard to allied health services and interventions. They will lead a panel discussion on issues and challenges for rural allied health workforce, with a particular focus on the context of the NSW North Coast. Professor Susan Nancarrow is a podiatrist by profession, but she has also become a noted healthcare researcher and consultant with an interest in optimising service organisation and health workforce flexibility. She has lived for many years on the North Coast NSW and she is a current and founding Director of our North Coast Allied Health Association. She is current director of the North Coast Local Health District and, in her spare time, has recently authored a book ‘The Allied Health Professions: A Sociological Perspective’ to be published in March 2021. Cath Maloney is a physiotherapist with over 25 years’ experience in healthcare in rural NSW, both in the public and private sectors, and also as a Director on the Murrumbidgee PHN Board. Cath completed a Master of Science in Medicine (Pain Management), is a Graduate of the Australian Institute of Company Directors (GAICD) and the advanced leadership program with Women and Leadership Australia (2019). She now lives in Canberra where she is the CEO for Services for Australian Rural & Remote Allied Health (SARRAH), working hard to promote the benefits of allied health services in rural Australia and striving to improve access to these services for rural and remote communities. Cath will present an update on the development of the Allied Health Rural Generalist Pathways (AHRGP) Program. Professor Ross Bailie is a medical practitioner and health researcher, currently residing on the North Coast NSW where he is Director of the University Centre for Rural Health (UCRH) at Lismore. He has extensive background in rural and remote health care, including in Indigenous health, maternal and child health and public health, and has worked in South Africa, New Zealand and Australia. Today Ross is speaking about the concept of an Allied Health Service and Learning Consortia here on the North Coast, and will also discuss relevant recommendations for allied health from the recent review of the national Rural Health Multi-disciplinary Teams (RHMT) Program.

18.01.2022 You may already be aware that this coming Wednesday 14th is scheduled as International Allied Health Professionals Day Perhaps that will be a good day to reflect on the work you and your colleagues undertake for the support and better health of your clients and communities across the North Coast. I reckon it would be a good day to pat yourselves on the back for the commitments you make to your profession each day and the great work you do for others. Acknowledge your collea...gues as well - their work is often unsung, so let them know you appreciate what they do. Whether you work as a publicly-employed allied health professional, or with a NGO, or if you are self-employed, your work is of great value and significance. You may work with the elderly, with people with disabilities, chronic conditions, sports conditions, or in mental health, your job is important. You promote people's capacity for independent living, improve their quality of life so they can realise potentials, and get them through difficult times. Unfortunately, not all Australians can access allied health services when they need them. We have a universal medical care system which ensures all Australians have access to and can afford GP and hospital care. We are proud of our MBS system. But no such access is assured for allied health care. So we continue to see poorer health status in rural and remote communities, higher rates of hospitalisation and avoidable re-admissions, and obviously greater hardship for the people affected. At the North Coast Allied Health Association we will continue to work for better access to high quality allied health care. On the national stage, SARRAH has the same goal to increase recognition of the work of allied health and therefore to make sure people get the health services they need when they need them. To discuss such matters, SARRAH is conducting a free Webinar at 1.00 this Wednesday.
