On 12 October 2023, Stephanie Santos, Policy and Advocacy Manager, Natasha Owens, Senior Policy and Advocacy Officer and Katie Beech, Policy Officer, attended the 2023 Allied Health Professions Australia (AHPA) Member Policy Symposium in Melbourne, Victoria.
Several other allied health peak bodies also attended the Symposium – the theme of the Symposium was focused on meeting the challenges for the allied health workforce in the future.
