Allied Health Assistant Isaac Bullis inspired by Community and culture

For Isaac Bullis, a proud Barngarla man, a career in healthcare has always been about helping others and giving back to community.  

Isaac began his journey as an Allied Health Assistant trainee through POWA, where he gained hands-on experience working alongside healthcare professionals while building practical skills and confidence.  

Working in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander healthcare has been particularly meaningful for Isaac, allowing him to connect his passion for healthcare with his cultural identity.  

Today, Isaac supports the dental team and contributes behind the scenes through administrative work, while also helping patients access the care they need.  

For Isaac, supporting Mob is about more than healthcare. 

“It’s about building relationships, creating a welcoming environment, and ensuring our people feel heard, respected and comfortable accessing health services.” 

He also believes representation is important, with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander healthcare workers helping to build trust, encourage community members to seek care and inspire the next generation to pursue careers in health.  

His experience as an Allied Health Assistant has sparked even bigger ambitions. Isaac is now studying a Bachelor of Nursing and hopes to become a Registered Nurse in the future. 

For anyone considering a career as an Allied Health Assistant, Isaac has simple advice.

“Give it a go. Being an AHA is an incredible opportunity to gain experience, develop practical skills, learn from experienced healthcare professionals and discover what you’re passionate about.”  

As Isaac continues his healthcare journey, he remains driven by a commitment to community, culture and making a positive difference in the lives of others. 

Thank you, Isaac and all our Allied Health Assistants, for your commitment to community and for helping create positive healthcare experiences for our Mob every day.
