About the Role
Take the next step in your Allied Health Assistant career with one of Victoria's largest and most progressive Allied Health services. We're looking for an enthusiastic and motivated Grade 3 Allied Health Assistant to join our Occupational Therapy team at Kingston Centre in a full-time, ongoing position.
Working within the Geriatric Evaluation and Management (GEM) stream, you'll play an important role in helping older adults regain independence, improve function and achieve the goals that matter most to them. This is a hands-on clinical role with genuine variety. Working under the delegation and supervision of Occupational Therapists, you'll take ownership of a delegated caseload, deliver meaningful therapy interventions and become an integral member of the multidisciplinary rehabilitation team.
As a Grade 3 AHA, you'll also have opportunities to demonstrate leadership by supporting service improvement initiatives, contributing to workforce development and representing the Occupational Therapy AHA workforce across Monash Health. With exciting changes to our models of care and an expanding scope of practice for Allied Health Assistants, there's never been a better time to join our team.
About Us
Monash Health is home to one of Victoria's largest Allied Health Assistant workforces, and we're committed to helping our AHAs build rewarding, long-term careers. Our Allied Health Assistant workforce is recognised as an essential part of patient care. Through a comprehensive competency and credentialing framework, structured supervision and ongoing professional development, you'll be supported to expand your clinical skills and work to your full scope of practice.
You'll benefit from:
Structured supervision from experienced Occupational Therapists
Support from the Allied Health Assistant & Support Workforce Advisor
A comprehensive competency and credentialing program
Regular education and professional development opportunities
A collaborative network of Allied Health Assistants across Monash Health
Opportunities to contribute to quality improvement and workforce innovation
What our Monash Health AHAs say:
“No day is the same and I never feel bored or that tasks are repetitive”*.
“The role varies so much that there is always something new to learn, a new skill you can practice and new people to meet and interact with.”*

Why Join Us?
As an Allied Health Assistant, you'll often spend more one-on-one time with patients than anyone else on the rehabilitation team. You're there for the small wins that become life-changing moments—the first shower completed independently, the first safe walk to the dining room, the confidence to return home after illness or injury.
It's these moments that make the role so rewarding.
At Monash Health, you'll be recognised as a valued member of the multidisciplinary team, trusted with meaningful clinical responsibilities and supported to continually grow your skills. You'll join a workplace where Allied Health Assistants are encouraged to work to their full scope of practice, contribute ideas, lead improvements and help shape the future of the profession.
If you're looking for a role where you can make a genuine difference, continue developing your career and be part of a team that's passionate about rehabilitation and person-centred care, we'd love to hear from you.
For a confidential discussion and to explore this opportunity further, please reach out to Sarah Gore, Occupational Therapy Manager on 0434 666 918.
