SARRAH: In a nutshell.

- Abstract
This article suggests various basic and professional characteristics and elements that are to be taken care of in the recruitment and retention of the allied health workforce, based on an analysis of the allied health professional workforce across Australia, undertaken by SARRAH in 2003. This analysis shows significantly poorer per capita workforce ratios once outside the metropolitan cities, becoming increasingly poorer as communities become more remote. It is suggested that the multidisciplinary team working with adequate tools and methods that achieve good outcomes for the client provides an attractive workplace. Ready access to professional development, suggestively, will allow the professional confidence that they are at best practice levels. Increasing the numbers of graduates across the country in most disciplines is supposed ultimately important to provide the workforce necessary for the next 30 years.
