Allied health professionals offer a wide range of health services. Along with general practitioners, they form a broad range of health providers to provide a better diagnosis to patients. Allied health professionals can be your dietitian or your physiotherapist that helps you with your movement. There are 16 different allied health professions registered under the National Registration and Accreditation Scheme.
In Australia, we saw a 43% growth in allied health services over the last 10 years. With such incredible growth, allied health professionals are indispensable for modern medicine. Their work is distinct from GPs and surgeons. They help you in rehabilitation, recovery, counseling and provide services for the best outcome of your diagnosis.
Allied health services are generally not covered by your GP. However, at our Cranbourne West Medical centre, our allied health team is highly experienced and specialises in Workcover/TAC/Medicare and Veteran’s Affairs clientele, providing some bulk-billed services.
