Across Western Australia there are significant workforce challenges affecting disability service provision – particularly in regional and remote areas. Alongside the WA Department of Communities, National Disability Services (NDS) has granted funding to organisations that can deliver solutions to the growing demand for allied health workers to further support participants in regional and remote areas.
Optimal Living Therapy, alongside Fly2Health, has been awarded funding to explore and validate a unique Allied Health Assistant training program that will expand the supports available to the Great Southern Region as a test case for further expansion across Western Australia.
