The AHRG Professional A rural generalist is an allied health professional who has had the capacity and cability - gained through education and training, support and experience - to delivery a high quality, safe, effective service that meets the broad range of needs presenting in their rural and remote community. A rural generalist is NOT a “generic allied health worker” without a primary health professional qualification. There is no such worker in Australia and this is not an output of the Allied Health Rural Generalist Pathway. Rural generalists practice under the regulatory instruments of their specific allied health profession and the policies of their employer.
