FAQs

  • What does an Allied Health professional get paid?

    Allied Health jobs come with different responsibilities, work settings and salaries. In terms of salaries, Allied Health positions are influenced by location, season, specialties and other economic factors. That said, most Allied Health practitioners fall into the following salary ranges:


    $60 000 - $150 000 for permanent positions, depending on the specialty

    $400 - $1500 per day for locum positions, depending on the specialty


    Taking on a permanent position within Allied Healthcare typically provides more job stability, day-to-day consistency and greater access to promotion opportunities at medical facilities. Alternatively, working as a locum allows you to have a more flexible schedule, service patients in remote areas and experience the work life offered by different employers. Some Allied Health professionals choose to supplement their full-time jobs with locum roles to gain more experience in a particular practice area or to increase their earning potential.


    According to data from the Australian government' Jobs Outlook Website, the following permanent Allied Health jobs have some of the highest salaries in the field:


    Medical Imaging professionals: $2,000 - $2,500 per week

    Health and Welfare Services Managers: $1,900 - $2,400 per week

    Psychologists and Psychotherapists: $1,750 - $2,000 per week

    Audiologists and Speech Pathologists: $1,700 - $2,000 per week


    Whether you are looking for locum work or a permanent position, our Allied Healthcare team is ready to assist.

  • Example of an Allied Health career path

    The Allied Health field is broad and diverse, meaning there's no single career path you'll need to follow. However, since most territories in Australia have different classifications and career structures, it's important to understand how your education, work experience and technical qualifications fit into regional guidelines.


    Allied Health professionals work on a tiered system, with most roles requiring a 3-year degree with an optional extra year to earn a specialisation. Recent graduates without much real-world experience typically start off at the first tier and work their way up as their careers progress. Every region has its owned tier system - Canberra has six classification levels, whilst Queensland has eight - and the advancement requirements tend to vary based on your area of expertise.


    In some cases, Allied Health practitioners decide to make a career change after working in a particular role. Transitioning to a new career path may require you to retrain in a new specialisation, apply for different accreditations and work under supervision for a set amount of time. Of course, these requirements can add an extra layer of complexity to finding Allied Health jobs that match your education, work history and long-term career goals.

  • Pursing an Allied Health career

    Allied Health jobs can be some of the most rewarding and highly recognised occupations available, which can make standing out during the application process quite challenging. For one, most Allied Health professionals are required to hold an appropriate degree/qualification, and most need to be registered with the Australian Health Practitioners Regulation Agency (AHPRA).
