Return to clinical practice  |  supporting allied health re-entrants

Return to clinical practice web banner

Queensland Health has developed a Return to Clinical Practice Framework to assist and support allied health professionals who wish to return to clinical practice after a period of absence from the workforce.

The aims of the framework are:

  • to ensure clinical safety and competence during the re-entry process.
  • to potentially increase the allied health workforce, particularly in areas of priority.

 Apply now and express your interest in the Return to Clinical Practice Framework.

Benefits of the re-entry process offered by Queensland Health

  • an individualised learning plan to meet your needs
  • clinical supervision
  • peer support and mentoring
  • flexibility
  • professional learning and networking opportunities

What is involved in the re-entry process?

With the assistance of your appointed clinical supervisor and your professional manager, you will develop a personalised learning plan. This will take into account your past experience, recency of practice and current knowledge, skills and abilities. You will then participate in a period of supervised clinical practice in a supportive environment. Your clinical competence will be assessed against discipline-specific standards.  Any existing discipline-specific re-entry guidelines which have been developed by registration boards and/or professional associations will take precedence over the Queensland Health re-entry guidelines.

Are you eligible?

Allied health professionals who are from regulated disciplines should either have current general registration or registration with conditions* to be eligible to participate in the Queensland Health re-entry process.  Potential allied health re-entrants who have not previously worked for Queensland Health are invited to express interest. 
*with the exception of volunteer speech pathology re-entrants who have been advised by the registration board to undergo pre-registration supervised practice.
