Conceptual diagram of potential AHA career pathway elements to optimise AHA utilisation. This diagram depicts three tiers that conceptually represent stages of an AHA career in Victoria across health, aged care and disability sectors. Tier 1 depicts influences on career preparation. The solid lines indicate systems factors and dotted lines indicate personal factors. Tier 2 shows how ongoing development and workplace culture (light grey boxes) supports progression through the Victorian AHA grade classifications (grey boxes). Tier 3 highlights the breadth of possible development opportunities that may be considered to optimise AHA career trajectories (dark grey boxes)
