Hi – I’m Ned.

Thanks for stopping by Applied 8 Education and Professional Development!

I founded this business with one clear goal: To empower allied health professionals to grow their skills, confidence and careers through high-quality, practical online education.

My story

After years working in clinical positions (I’m an Exercise Physiologist by background) and in roles across the allied health sector, I saw firsthand the need for accessible and meaningful professional development tailored to our unique challenges and opportunities.

Whether it’s supporting students during placements, designing engaging education sessions, or stepping into leadership roles, I’ve been there—and I understand how challenging it can sometimes feel.

That’s why I created Applied 8

And it underpins what we stand for - to make professional development for allied health professionals on in-demand topics more accessible, affordable and… applied!

  • All of our resources are designed with real-world application in mind, helping you build skills that make a real difference in your day-to-day practice and long-term career.

  • Our courses are created by allied health professionals with education training and experience, meaning you get clear learning outcomes with more of the stuff that’s relevant to you (and less of the stuff that’s not).

  • And we’re flexible, meaning all our materials are available 100% online, so you can access them on-demand (when it suits you, not the other way around).

How can Applied 8 help you?

If you’re an allied health professional looking to build or diversify your skills, or a team leader seeking to grow capacity and capability in your team, then you’re in the right place!

Our courses and resources can help you with things like finding your feet as an allied health professional, right through to developing specific additional skills that you can use to add extra value to your team and take the next steps in your career.
  • For individuals

    Check out our range of self-paced courses on topics including supervising successful student placements, running high quality education sessions and leadership for allied health professionals. Build in-demand skills, get CPD points (where relevant to your profession) and open up new career pathways for yourself while you're at it!

  • For teams

    Sometimes professional development is best done together! If you’re looking for professional development for your team – ranging from a one-off in-service, to a more detailed workshop or a course to include in a development program – please get in contact. We’re based in beautiful Canberra, Australia. We predominately deliver services online, but have limited face-to-face bookings available each year too. Our business rate card is available on request, with discounts available on courses for groups of 5+.
