Who We Are

Our Story

Our founder, Rachel, is a physiotherapist who has experienced both sides of the healthcare system:

“It can be difficult working in a broken system. Practitioners can be booked up or feeling burnt out. Seeing the high turnover of my colleagues made me think that working conditions could be better. Every day, I’d hear countless stories like the one below:

It was my patient’s first time seeing a physiotherapist. They explained their main issue was their walking. They said they felt embarrassed when they would walk, thinking people would think they looked drunk. Because of this, they avoided socialising and playing footy with their kids. Fast forward and their kids had grown up, they had lost their independence and marriage. This patient was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis twenty years ago and had no idea a physio could help. That’s when I thought: something has to change.

And so, Allied was born. For patients and practitioners alike. It’s our belief that Australia’s healthcare system needs to revolutionise to meet demand. This is our small contribution to hopefully a better future for Aussies. Allied is made by allied health professionals. For the people. Not big business.”
