The Allied and Scientific Health Office (ASHO) supports excellence in allied health research and translation to clinical practice, which is crucial to delivering quality improvements, sustainable health care and evidence-informed practice to South Australians.

ASHO also manages the VAULT (virtual, archive, unique, learnings, translations) of allied and scientific health research and quality improvement projects.

The VAULT brings together the knowledge and innovation of our allied health workforce into one accessible place, to strengthen collaboration, drive further innovation and support evidence-informed care. The VAULT supports our allied health professionals to access and apply evidence in their daily practice, helping to deliver safe, high quality allied health care to South Australians.

Further information on evidence based practice is also available on the Standards and guidelines page.
