A huge step forward for allied health students across Australia! 🎉
From 1 July 2027, the Commonwealth Prac Payment will expand to 10 additional allied health professions, helping ease the financial burden of mandatory clinical placements.
At Pilbara Health Futures, we know how important it is to remove financial barriers to healthcare education — particularly for students completing placements in rural and regional communities, where travel, accommodation and time away from paid work can add significant costs.
Supporting students through placement means supporting the future of our healthcare workforce. This is a fantastic and long-awaited step in the right direction. 👏
