Enjoy paid, hands-on experience while you study an eligible allied health course.

Applications for next year’s Aboriginal Allied Health Cadetships are now open!

Abagail’s career was transformed after completing the Aboriginal Allied Health Cadetship during the first year of her Master of Psychology. “I’ve made incredible connections with other clinicians and received cultural supervision that’s helped me grow both personally and professionally.”

For Abagail, the Cadetship also provided a better understanding of her studies and allowed her to put her knowledge into practice. “There are so many ways to integrate Aboriginal culture into Western medicine,” she says. Her thesis explores the restorative effects of nature and how being on Country can reduce stress – a concept that resonates across cultures.

Abagail encourages other Aboriginal students considering a career in allied health to embrace every opportunity. “Be open-minded. I never thought I’d be part of an alcohol and other drugs clinic, but it turned out to be one of the best experiences.”

Applications for the 2026 Aboriginal Allied Health Cadetship program are now open for eligible Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander students in their final two years of study.

Any infection can lead to life-threatening sepsis and young children and babies are more at risk. They can get very sick, very fast. It’s important to get medical help quickly.

Symptoms in young children can include:
• hard to wake
• difficulty breathing
• irritable and can’t be comforted
• floppy when picked up
• not passing much urine all day or less wet nappies
• a new rash.

You know your child better than anyone. Even if you’ve already seen a doctor, if you’re worried your child is really sick go to a hospital emergency department or call Triple Zero (000).

Don’t be afraid to ask “Could it be sepsis?”

Sepsis is very serious. It happens when your body reacts strongly to an infection, and this can hurt your organs. Any kind of germ or infection, including influenza (flu), can cause sepsis. Flu activity is high right now and the risk of sepsis is highest during the peak of the flu season.

Symptoms can include:
