Priya Isaacs
Admin All Rounder and Allied Health Assistant
Priya is the newest member of the EAH team! She helps keeps things running smoothly in the background and as she progresses through her studies will also begin working with clients as an Allied Health Assistant.
Priya is currently studying occupational therapy at the University of Newcastle and is in her first year at UON. Before joining the team, Priya previously worked as a receptionist at a Physiotherapy Clinic in Canberra. She gained valuable insight into the world of allied health and private practice, and is looking forward to expanding this knowledge.
Priya's interest in allied health was sparked early on, having received speech pathology growing up. This experience, along with watching her sister become a speech pathologist, led to the world of allied health, and ultimately occupational therapy.
When Priya isn't working, you'll likely find her playing with her dog, Leo, crocheting or watching TV shows.
