ACU Health Sciences Allied Health

About allied health

Health practitioners help us live life to the fullest. They get us back on the pitch after a sporting injury, help us communicate effectively and support us to participate in the things important to us. They also work hard in the background, preventing disease, advocating governments and keeping whole communities safer, happier and healthier. When you choose a career in allied health, your work could impact anyone from an individual to a community. As an ACU graduate, you will be shaped by our mission to be agents of change, and to serve the common good.

Innovative facilities and clinics

When you study an allied health program with us, you’ll learn more than theory. You’ll begin in hands-on practical and simulation spaces then have the opportunity to take your skills out into the real world, including the ACU health clinics that are located on several campuses. These industry-based placements will be supervised by our specialist professional practice educators.

Professional recognition

Access a world beyond the classroom through our industry partners. These connections will provide you with unique opportunities for clinical placements and even future employment. Plus, your ACU degree will be recognised by Australia’s peak health bodies including Speech Pathology Australia, Occupational Therapy Australia and the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency.

Study health worldwide

Your health studies can take you anywhere, literally. Start by studying a unit at our Rome Campus and who knows where it may lead you. Exchanges and community placements in the health sector are available in a range of countries.

Workplace experience

We know your best way ahead is through practical experience. Our community engagement and professional practice placements form a large part of our health degrees. And, just like in the real world, our degrees are interprofessional. You’ll learn to collaborate with other health professionals, finding the best outcomes for your clients and patients, as well as the wider community.
