LIVE ONLINE WORKSHOP
Career development for the Allied Health Practitioner:
Maintaining your values and meeting your needs
This workshop will support Allied Health Practitioners to explore ways of developing their careers without compromising their personal values, wellbeing, or individual needs. Delegates will participate in guided self-reflection activities designed to help them more holistically identify their strengths, values, and professional priorities.
Key concepts explored include the impact of practitioners’ values and intersectional identities in the workplace, alongside practical strategies for effective professional communication with key stakeholders—ranging from managers and clients to participants, patients, and funding bodies. The workshop will also introduce tangible approaches to career progression, including accessible pathways into research.
The session will conclude with a clinician panel and a live Q&A with panelists from the industry, offering practical insights into building a profile, program design, navigating diverse funding stream, and strategies for a sustainable career.

Dr. Tanya Marie Silveira-Price (PhD)
Dr. Tanya Marie Silveira-Price (PhD) is a Registered Music Therapist and the 2020- 2021 inaugural recipient of Australian Music Therapist of the Year. Tanyas PhD research examined how accessible music-making can impact the hand function and wellbeing of stroke survivors. In 2019, Tanya was invited to speak about her PhD research at the inaugural TEDxNewtown event. In 2022, she was presented the Helen Shoemark award for research excellence, and in 2018, she was presented the Ruth Bright award for clinical excellence (at the Australian Music Therapy Association's National Conference). After completing her doctoral research, Tanya was appointed as a Subject Coordinator with the University of Melbourne Masters of Music Therapy course. Her role involves equipping final year students with the skills and confidence to establish music therapy programs in the community. In 2020, Tanya convened the first online conference for the Australian Music Therapy Association which brought forward topics related to representation, visibility and the importance of valuing lived experience in music therapy. Over the years, Tanya has presented her work in both international and national forums, and has also been a repeated guest on "The Morning Show” to discuss her clinical work and research. Her publications can be found in academic journals and books which include The Nordic Journal of Music Therapy, The Australian Music Therapy Journal and The International Journal of Stroke. Tanya has also established multiple ongoing music therapy programs in Australia and India and is passionate about making music accessible. Identifying as an Australian of Indian origin, Tanya is now working hard to advocate for the importance of visibility and representation in music therapy and beyond, whilst keeping her well being and work-life balance a priority along the way.
