Claire Pech – Careers Advisor

One of the good things to come out of the COVID-19 times for a lot of people is the new ability for people to engage via Zoom, MS Teams and other conferencing software that has brought people and information together, in a way that did not happen before.

Careers has also benefitted through this time. Whereas before universities and tertiary institutions were hoping to get students to walk through their gates (now a tricky feat), they have moved to providing so many webinars, live Q & As, talks, student sessions and more. I encourage everyone to engage with this, register with some of the big places in Sydney if that is where you want to study now or beyond.

For people who want to help in the Allied Health field, without having one of these roles, there is the option of becoming an assistant. For instance, there are Allied Health Courses which people can take in order to qualify for a role in assistance. Allied health assistants provide assistance to health practitioners including physiotherapists, occupational therapists, podiatrists, speech pathologists and dietitians. Another option in health is to become an Assistant in Nursing. More information can be found here.
