Allied Health Movement
A coalition of Geelong based allied health professionals committed to providing basic needs and allied health services to people in developing nations.
What is the Allied Health Movement?
Allied Health Movement is a brilliant initiative.
Allied Health Movement exists to help allied health professionals do what we can with our skills and resources to provide basic needs and allied health services to people in developing nations.
If you are using our services, congratulations … YOU ARE ON THE TEAM.
These clinics are not just great practitioners but they are professionals who recognise that we have got it good! Our opportunity to study, do business and serve in a modern sustainable way is a privilege that most of the worlds population does not enjoy.
How did Allied Health Movement start?
Timothy King, a well established Geelong based Myotherapist, decided to volunteer his time and skills to serve wherever he could in developing nations. Tim has travelled and served at his own expense to Mauritius, Madagascar and Vietnam in 2016.
Tim decided to forge Allied Health Movement as an entity that can empower generous, passionate allied health professionals to support work that makes a difference to those less fortunate.
What is the project for 2017?
The inaugural work of AHM is health work in Mauritius and micro-business training as well as volunteer medical work in a Madagascar throughout 2017.
Tim, a Myotherapist will be joined by his wife Eleisha, a nurse, to establish a health organisation in Mauritius. This will serve as a base to volunteer in health work and small business training for people in poverty in the nearby nation of Madagascar.
Funds provided will serve as short term bridging finance to sponsor Tim and Eleisha for 2017. The plan is to establish self-supporting work in these countries, and an enduring relationship between this work and local Geelong businesses. Read more about the 2017 work here.
In the future AHM intends to support other allied health professionals doing similar work in various developing nations.
Geelong business partners that love what we are doing.
We have relationship with some awesome businesses who we trust and so should you.
