Grampians Health has been extremely successful in bolstering its Physiotherapy team at the Horsham campus.

Six new physiotherapists have joined the Allied Health team to help continue the high level of care for clients and patients at Horsham and Dimboola campuses.

Grade 2 clinician Amber Bowers has returned to the region after gaining invaluable experience at Royal Hobart Hospital, enhancing the team’s paediatric capacity. Lana Vydelingum, Kate Oleinikov, Zack Eastwell, Siddhi Vyas and Shravani Gopadi are all graduates from a range of universities including The University of Melbourne, Australian Catholic University and La Trobe University.

The new members have all slipped into their new roles comfortably and are providing service in several settings including Acute Inpatients, Rehabilitation and Outpatients.

Deputy Manager, Physiotherapy West Ben Wiessner said the new team members had hit the ground running.

“They are excited to join the Allied Health team which is known far and wide for its highly supportive, inclusive culture,” Ben said.

“They are keen to develop their skills so they can serve the Horsham community to the best of their abilities.

“We look forward to a fantastic year of supporting our new people and partnering with the Horsham community to deliver high quality care.”

Grampians Health Chief Operating Officer Ben Kelly welcomed the new physiotherapists to the Allied Health team.

“We are committed to growing our workforce and enhancing skills and knowledge to support a high performing culture at each of our campuses,” Mr Kelly said.

“The new team will help provide greater local access to our services.”
