Reception and front-desk care

Working alongside
Specialist sport and exercise medicine is rarely a solo discipline. We work closely with physiotherapists, exercise physiologists, sports dietitians, podiatrists, orthopaedic surgeons, sports cardiologists, and rheumatologists across the Sunshine Coast and South East Queensland. Where your plan involves another practitioner, the relevant correspondence is sent so everyone is on the same page.
This page will grow as the team grows. New clinical and allied health appointments, registrar pathways, and partnership arrangements are advertised on the careers page when openings exist.
