Business / Provider Profile
Osteopathy Australia is the peak body representing the interests of osteopaths, osteopathy as a profession and consumer rights to access osteopathic services.
Osteopathy Australia was founded as a Victorian state-based organisation in 1955 and became the national body in 1991 after a merger of state-based osteopathic associations. Today Osteopathy Australia represents osteopaths in every state and territory across Australia. The core external focus of the association is raising awareness of osteopathy, lobbying, policy development and clinical quality; while its focus for membership services includes a wide array of information and advice, clinical excellence and guidelines, continuing professional development, healthcare business and support.

Why us
Our core work is liaising with state and federal government, all other statutory bodies regarding professional, educational, legislative and regulatory issues, as well as primary healthcare practice. As such, we have close working relationships with the Osteopathy Board of Australia (the national registration board), the Australian and New Zealand Osteopathic Council (the university accreditor and assessor of overseas Osteopaths), and other professional health bodies or assocaitions through our collaborative work with Allied Health Professions Australia.
Our role is to increase awareness of osteopathy and what osteopaths do. Osteopathy Australia has developed a strategic plan to steer its direction over the next few years. The plan is strongly focused on providing opportunities for members through professional excellence and career success.
