This workshop introduced Year 9 and 10 students from Rochester Secondary College and Cohuna Secondary Collegee to the roles of allied health staff, how the allied health team work together and impacts the team have within community.

Importantly, students were able to discovered a range of rewarding career opportunities within their own community, helping them make informed decisions about future study and employment pathways.

It was great to meet all the students and listen to their interest in working within the health industry. We wish them all the best with their future study.
