Allied Health Professions Day
Allied Health Professions Day was first held in England in 2018 and is now an international event held annually on 14 October, celebrating and bringing together the allied health professional community.
This year's theme is Allied health: For everyone, everywhere, highlighting the vital contribution allied health professionals make to improving health and wellbeing across all communities and settings.
AHPA has developed a suite of digital resources to help members and stakeholders celebrate the day. The campaign toolkit includes guidance on using the campaign assets, branding requirements, customisation instructions and suggested social media copy.
We encourage you to join us in celebrating Allied Health Professions Day 2026 and raising awareness of the vital contribution allied health professionals make across Australia by sharing the campaign resources and your own stories on social media. Be sure to tag us and use the hashtags #AHPsDay2026 #AlliedHealth4Everyone #AlliedHealthEverywhere.

About this year’s theme:
Allied health: For everyone, everywhere
Allied health professionals improve the health and wellbeing of Australians in ways people may not realise – and in places they may never have imagined.
They work across hospitals, health services and private practices, as well as in schools, workplaces, aged care services, disability services, homes and communities.
This Allied Health Professions Day, we are celebrating the breadth and diversity of allied health and raising awareness of the vital contribution allied health professionals make in communities and settings across Australia.
