Good questions.
What to know before beginning your application.
What background do I need for AHA work?
You can apply if you are studying Speech Pathology, Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy or Exercise Physiology and have completed an allied health placement; hold a Certificate III or IV in Allied Health Assistance; or have completed one of the listed allied health degrees in Australia or internationally. Fora confirms eligibility and role fit during verification.
What if I am studying but have not completed a placement?
Support Work is the better place to start. It can help you build hands-on experience while you continue your studies. You can revisit the AHA pathway after completing an allied health placement.
Can I apply just for Support Worker roles?
Yes. Support Worker applicants use the same Fora sign-up pathway. You do not need to qualify for AHA work before applying for Support Work.
Does applying guarantee work or hours?
No. Work depends on completing the relevant checks and onboarding, as well as suitability, client choice, location and local demand.
How much will I be paid?
See the current AHA pay information. Support Worker applicants can confirm the applicable rate and conditions during the application process before accepting work.
Will I provide therapy independently?
No. In an AHA role, you carry out activities delegated by the client’s Allied Health Professional within the agreed plan and boundaries. You do not independently assess, diagnose or change the therapy plan.
