Osteopathy has been practised here for over years and Australia was one of the first countries in the world to regulate osteopathy. Most Australian osteopaths work in private, primary practice, meaning consumers can book appointments directly and can see an osteopath without a medical referral. This requires osteopaths to have the knowledge, diagnostic and assessment skills to ensure they can refer patients for any condition outside their scope of practice.
Osteopathy can be a satisfying and fulfilling career which is adaptable to both part-time and full-time work. The osteopathic profession is the fastest-growing allied health profession in Australia, with the number of osteopaths almost doubling every decade for the last several decades.
