Graduates
It’s an exciting time. With your graduation parchment in one hand and your résumé in the other, you’re ready to step out into the working world as a newly qualified allied health practitioner.
But the move from student to professional is one of the most profound transitions you’ll ever have to make, so it’s vital to find a job where you’re supported to manage this adjustment.
At Ability Action Australia we understand the challenges of starting a full-time job for the first time, so we have strong programs in place to fully support our new graduates and set them up for long-term success.
With our backing, you can make a positive start to your allied health career, helping our participants in the National Disability Insurance Scheme to perform everyday activities and get more out of life.
What we offer
When you join Ability Action Australia, you become part of a group that encourages career growth, promotes inclusion, welcomes difference, and genuinely cares about your wellbeing.
Onboarding program
We have a strong and contemporary onboarding program because we know it sets the foundation for the long-term success of our graduates.
Our onboarding program features:
A buddy system
All our graduates are paired with one of our occupational therapists or exercise physiologists, who want you to succeed and are committed to helping you in any way they can. Your workplace buddy will show you around the office, introduce you to your colleagues and generally provide moral support during your first weeks. They’ll also talk you through the all-important question of what is expected of you, as well as help you get your head around our work practices and policies. You’ll learn about our work culture, including our company’s ethos and aspirations. You should feel safe asking them questions or bringing up issues.
Mentors
Our mentor program is about building a supportive workplace culture. You’ll be linked with one of our senior team members who will act as your mentor, helping you find your feet and gain an understanding of how to achieve your career goals. They’ll keep you on track and guide you on your professional journey. Having a mentor will help you not just at the beginning of your career, but also when you’re established and are looking to upskill.
Plenty of opportunities for informal get togethers
We want our graduates to feel welcome and excited about joining our Ability Action Australia family, and we like to talk! So get ready for us to swamp you with invitations for coffee, lunches and drinks.
Constant opportunities to learn
You’ve just completed years of study and come out the other side with a breadth of in-demand skills. We respect this know-how and empower our graduates to put it to use by giving you a degree of autonomy and control in your day-to-day work, while supporting you every step of the way.
We also want you to continue to learn and develop from the beginning of your tenure, which is why we offer professional development and learning opportunities through our parent company, MedHealth.
Through the MedHealth Academy, we offer amazing professional development and learning opportunities including the chance to gain CDP points and learn from each other.
Working with our network of consultants, team members and external expert partners, the MedHealth Academy focuses on collaborative PD activities, highlighting work-based learning.
Using a range of delivery methods including podcasts and online learning, our graduates can accrue and record continuing professional developments points, learning valuable skills which improve techniques, knowledge and experience.
