AHANZ is the recognised connected voice of allied health professionals advancing their common interests.
Allied health professional groups are comparatively small in number compared to other health professionals. Joining together increases our numbers significantly and gives us a strong voice on common interests and issues.
Each member association also benefits from the knowledge and skills shared within AHANZ. All member associations retain their autonomy and ability to act independently.
Together we can advance the common interests of allied health professionals and make a difference!
