On Thursday 1 August, we joined forces with the Goldfields LLEN, Bendigo Health, La Trobe University Rural Health School, RWAV - Rural Workforce Agency Victoria and Bendigo TAFE to deliver our third annual Allied Health 'Come and Try Day' - and what an incredible day it was.
Over 70 Year 9 and 10 students from Bendigo South East College, Creek Street Christian College, Crusoe College, Doxa School Bendigo, Eaglehawk Secondary College, and Girton Grammar School participated in a series of hands-on workshops and a panel discussion designed to highlight the different pathways and opportunities available in Allied Health.
Workshops included:
- Occupational Therapy
- Speech Pathology
- Social Work and Allied Health Assistant
- Physiotherapy
- Podiatry
- VIC VICE virtual reality headsets.
Thank you to our event partners, the Allied Health clinicians, and the students – without your support, enthusiasm, and passion for Allied Health, the day would not have been possible.
