However, allied health services are underutilised, and PwPD encounter barriers when accessing allied health. This study examined the allied health referral patterns of PwPD in New South Wales, Australia, from their perspective.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Community\u2010dwelling PwPD and their care\u2010partners (CPs) were recruited.
