Meet AHANA CEO and Allied Health Assistant Ben Turnbull
Allied Health Assistants' National Association Ltd (AHANA)
AHANA is the national Peak Body for the Allied Health Assistant workforce.
Ben Turnbull is a?Grade 3 Allied Health Assistant (Physiotherapy), and in 2022 he co-founded the Allied Health Assistants National Association (AHANA). We caught up with Ben recently to talk about his career trajectory, the development of AHANA, its overall vision, and why a self-regulated allied health assistant workforce is important.
Ben talks about the motor vehicle accident in 2011 that left him with an acquired brain injury, and changed the trajectory of his life. Two and a half years of rehabilitation restored much of his function, and injected a passion for working in rehabilitation to transform others' lives the way his own life was radically changed. Ben trained as an Allied Health Assistant.
Ben took his passion and his learning into his new leadership role, founding the first national association for Allied Health Assistants, and the first ever self-regulation framework for AHAs (globally as far as we are aware).
