As a leading provider of in-home care and support, Right at Home has directly responded to the government's new Aged Care Act and Support at Home program, making the integration of allied health services a core priority.  

Support at Home provides vital funding for a wide range of allied health services, delivered through three core pathways: clinical supports, independence services, and the restorative care pathway. 

Select local Right at Home offices are taking the lead in allied health service delivery and are currently hiring allied health professionals nationwide. Here are eight reasons why allied health professionals should work with Right at Home.  

1. Local Office, National Support

Allied health professionals benefit from the credibility of Right at Home’s national and global brand, and our established relationships with medical practitioners and community partners, which helps ensure a steady stream of client referrals and work opportunities. 

2. Stable Ongoing Employment with Good Renumeration  

The community aged care sector provides stable ongoing employment due to consistently high demand driven by the needs of Australia’s ageing population. This stability is matched by good remuneration packages, often including competitive salaries, superannuation, and other benefits like salary packaging. Recent reforms in allied health have changed the focus of clinical support for older Australians, increasing allied health involvement in home care and allowing practitioners to play a meaningful role with clients to drive independence.  

3. Integrated, Multidisciplinary Teams

Working as part of a collaborative care team within home care offers a uniquely direct and impactful professional experience. Allied health professionals collaborate closely with clients, family carers, care staff, and nurses to ensure that allied health goals are seamlessly integrated into daily life, enabling greater client independence and overall wellbeing. This is a distinct opportunity to embed your expertise as a physiotherapist or occupational therapist directly within the client's living environment. This hands-on, team-based approach, which includes structured collaboration between Right at Home care managers and their caregivers, allows you to utilise your specialist skills immediately to achieve tangible goals with your client – an opportunity most allied health professionals rarely get in traditional clinical settings.

4. Flexible Work Practices and Part-Time Arrangements

The home care industry embraces modern work-life balance through flexible work practices and part-time arrangements. This adaptability allows allied health professionals to manage personal commitments while maintaining a fulfilling career. Our roles are perfect for all, with travel limited to local suburbs, allowing arrangements for parents, students, and clinicians who are truly passionate about community care.  

5. Professional Development and Support

We ensure professional development for allied health professionals through a combination of local mentorship, structured training, and a national support platform. Our care managers provide direct guidance and career development support at the local office level. This hands-on mentorship ensures practical skill development and a supportive learning environment. Each staff member is given a personalised development plan to support their learning needs and access to high quality clinical resources and guidelines.

6. Lead the Development of Innovative Services in Community Care

Instead of being stuck in routine roles, professionals can often lead the development of innovative services in community care. This allows you to shape future aged care  delivery models and make a lasting impact on how services are provided. 

7. Less Admin and Travel, More Client Interaction

Right at Home designs its allied health roles to maximise direct patient engagement. By streamlining administrative tasks and optimising travel logistics, we help ensure professionals can dedicate their time to providing high-quality care. This efficient structure means significantly less paperwork and unnecessary commuting time, allowing allied health professionals to concentrate purely on delivering therapeutic services and experiencing the rewarding, direct impact of their work. 

8. Work with a Diverse Casebook Focused on Ageing Australians

A critical aspect of providing comprehensive allied health services within home care involves cultivating expertise through a diverse casebook that specifically addresses the nuanced health and wellness needs of the ageing population. As demographic shifts result in a larger cohort of older Australians, allied health professionals are increasingly encountering a wide array of cases related to geriatric care, including complex chronic disease management, rehabilitation post-injury, mobility and functional capacity assessments, and palliative support.
