Why choose Allied Aged Care as your visa partner?
If you are looking for an authorized and trustworthy partner to help you through the process, then you need to look no further. From the very beginning, Allied Aged Care has been working closely with the Australian Government Department of Immigration and Border Protection to address the growing demand for well-trained physiotherapists and occupational therapists in Australia. And yes, the demand for such qualified professionals is still very high in Australia.
Through our registration with the Australian Government Department of Immigration and Border Protection, we are authorized to sponsor and give immigration assistance throughout the 482 visa or RSMS visa process. Furthermore, we can also assist you with your registration for supervised practice under the AHPRA requirements. Our experienced team of Senior Physiotherapists and Occupational Therapists will guide you through the entire process and help you overcome all the bureaucratic hurdles.
A brief synopsis of the allied health job market in Australia
It is a well-reported fact that there is a huge demand for well-trained allied health professionals in Australia especially in the fields of physiotherapy, occupational therapy, etc. You only need to look at any of the recently released workforce survey reports published by various health organizations as well as the federal and state governments on this topic. The shortage is very noticeably felt in regions where we work in Queensland such as Toowoomba, Gympie, Kilcoy, Mackay, Goondiwindi, Cairns, the Sunshine Coast, Atherton, etc.
Often, patients in pain in these areas had to travel many kilometers just to get to a qualified physiotherapist for chest physiotherapy or a rehabilitation therapy session. Some of them – unable to make the long journey – simply forgo treatment. With an ageing population in Australia this demand for allied health professionals is expected to grow even further in the coming years. At Allied Aged Care, we are doing our best to help fill this gap with qualified allied health professionals from abroad through 482 visas, RSMS visas, etc.
