Qualifications and Training

---

I’m an Australian-trained and registered osteopath with over 20 years of clinical experience. I graduated from the University of Western Sydney in 2004 with a Bachelor of Applied Science (Osteopathy) and a Master of Osteopathy. In 2017, I also became an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), allowing me to offer integrated care for mothers and babies.


Osteopaths are primary healthcare practitioners who treat a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions. We use hands-on techniques, movement assessment, and clinical reasoning to help restore function, reduce pain, and support overall wellbeing.
In Australia, all registered osteopaths complete a minimum of five years of university training, covering:

• Anatomy and physiology
  
• Pathology
  
• General medical diagnosis
  
• Osteopathic principles and techniques
  
• Clinical training and supervised practice
  

We are also trained to perform standard medical examinations of the musculoskeletal, nervous, cardiovascular, and respiratory systems, ensuring safe and accurate diagnosis.


To remain registered, Australian osteopaths must:

• Be registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA)
  
• Complete ongoing professional development every year
  
• Work within strict ethical and professional guidelines
  

Osteopaths are trained to identify conditions that may require referral to a GP or another allied health professional, ensuring you receive the care most appropriate to your needs.
