Allied Health Workforce 2012

The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare has just released a new report, Allied Health Workforce 2012, outlining the workforce characteristics of 11 categories of allied health practitioners for 2011 and 2012.  In 2012, more than 4 in 5 registered practitioners were actively employed in their profession (from
76.2% for psychologists to 92.3% for podiatrists). For most professions there were more women than men employed, and the average working week for employed practitioners ranged from 31.8 hours for Chinese medicine practitioners to 40.5 hours for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health practitioners.
