For allied health

Primary Health Tasmania provides support to allied health professionals through resources, professional development, training and networking.

We also facilitate the Allied Health Network Advisory Group.

Resources

Tasmanian HealthPathways is a free web-based information portal developed by Primary Health Tasmania. It is designed to help primary care clinicians plan local patient care through primary, community and secondary healthcare systems. Health professionals can send us an email for a username and password.

The Tasmanian Health Directory is a free statewide directory to connect healthcare providers and services.

Training and professional development

Primary Health Tasmania facilitates a number of education and other events for health professionals, which are promoted on the ‘Events’ page of our website.

You can also access learning resources and webinar recordings via our Learning Hub. Some resources require a password for access; click here to register.

The Allied Health Network Advisory Group

The Allied Health Network Advisory Group is comprised of 15 Tasmanian allied health professionals working within the primary healthcare sector. Members meet quarterly to discuss sector-related issues and promote networking, collaboration and professional development.

The group promotes and coordinates person-centred primary health care, resulting in enhanced health outcomes for Tasmanians.

We encourage representation from a diverse range of allied health professions to expand our collective impact. This page will be updated with information about vacancies as they arise.

Free interpreting service

The Free Interpreting Service aims to provide equitable access to key services for people with limited or no English language proficiency. It is delivered by the national Translating and Interpreting Service (TIS) on behalf of the Australian Government.

Pharmacies can access the service to provide community pharmacy services, and some privately employed allied health professionals working in the Hobart and Launceston areas can also use it. Please see here for eligible disciplines.

More information about the Free Interpreting Service is available on the TIS National website.
