Episode 14
It covers 23 different, highly specialised roles - but what exactly is 'allied health'?
WSLHD Allied Health director Jacqueline Dominish joins us to explain her portfolio and outline the three-year strategic vision that was recently launched.
Jacquie speaks honestly about the difficulties facing our culturally rich and diverse community – including language barriers, lack of health understanding, mental illness and disability – and what we’re doing to overcome these issues.
She also shares her own journey into allied health, from her teenage sporting career and time on the physiotherapist’s bench to witnessing a friend’s tragic, life-changing accident.
