The Allied Health – Translating Research Into Practice (AH-TRIP) initiative received its first funding from Diamantina Health Partners (now Health Translation Queensland) in 2016 to develop the program. This seeded the growth from dietetics at the Princess Alexandra Hospital to state-wide dietetics and then broader allied health uptake. In 2020, the Office of the Chief Allied Health Officer (OCAHO) funded the sustainment of AH-TRIP delivery state-wide for the allied health workforce. From 2024 to 2025, OCAHO sought to strengthen the AH-TRIP website, enhancing functionality, usability, and relevance for all clinicians across Queensland Health. To do this, a structured co-design approach was used, engaging key stakeholders to ensure the website better met the diverse needs of the workforce and supported knowledge translation in day-to-day practice.
The AH-TRIP initiative is grounded in knowledge translation principles and informed by published evidence and local practice experience, with a clear focus on supporting allied health clinicians to apply research in real-world settings. The updated website delivers refreshed and rebranded content, updated tools and resources, and new multimedia materials. As part of this evolution, the platform has been rebranded from AH-TRIP to QH-TRIP, reflecting its expanded scope and its role in supporting the translation of research into practice across Queensland Health.
