On 4 February 2026 SARRAH joined with Royal Far West (RFW) in Sydney to deliver the first in a series of workshops to establish new AHA roles in NSW rural and remote schools.
Building on the success of the Commonwealth-funded Building the Rural & Remote Allied Health Assistant Workforce (BRAHAW), Cath Maloney (CEO) and Gemma Tuxworth (Program Director) are supporting RFW to develop and implement AHA service delivery models, including defining AHA roles and responsibilities, establishing a clinical governance framework and developing competencies for new AHA roles funded through a three-year grant awarded by the NSW Government.
By frontloading the establishment of these new roles with a well-constructed project plan and stakeholder engagement strategy, RFW are set up to succeed in this ground-breaking project.
