Guidelines and frameworks to support workforce reform and redesign
A number of role redesign frameworks and guidelines have been developed to help direct Hospital & Health Service Boards (HHS) within the Queensland Health context. The aim of these guides is to encourage contemporary practice and assist managers and clinicians when considering new or redesigned roles and tasks that more fully utilise an allied health practitioner's scope of practice.
- Framework for advanced clinical practice for allied health professionals within Queensland Health
- Framework for allied health professional prescribing trials within Queensland Health (PDF 337 kB)
- Guideline for allied health professionals requesting pathology tests (PDF 2297 kB)
- Radiographer written comment implementation toolkit (PDF 427 kB) and frequently asked questions (PDF 188 kB)
- Guideline for Compression Garments for Adults with Lymphoedema: Eligibility, Supply and Costing
