South West Victorian Allied Health Survey

This survey of allied health professionals working in the Barwon South West region of Victoria collected baseline data on the demographics of the  region's allied health workforce and looked at the factors which affect a professional's choice of work. In particular the study examined the relationship between working in rural areas and previous exposure to living in a rural area.  Recommendations were made relating to the recruitment  and retention of allied health professionals.


This project was undertaken by Associate Professor Karen Stagnitti (Deakin University) and Cath Reid and was funded by the Department of Human Services - Victoria. The final survey report is available for download in the 'Related Resources' box on this page.
