Osteopathy Australia is the national peak body representing the interests of osteopaths, osteopathy as a profession and consumer's right to access osteopathic services. Osteopathy Australia is a national organisation and represents osteopaths in every state and territory across Australia and a member of Allied Health Professions Australia and the Osteopathic International Alliance. Founded in 1955 in Victoria, the Australian Osteopathic Association became a national body in 1991, changing its name to Osteopathy Australia in 2014. Professional membership of Osteopathy Australia signifies a standard of professional and ethical behaviour over and above the requirements of registration. Osteopathy has been practiced for over 100 years in Australia. Our members are truly passionate about their profession and its whole-body health philosophy. As an allied health option for consumers, osteopaths understand how the skeleton, joints, muscles, nerves, circulation, connective tissue and internal organs function as a wholistic unit, and can assess, diagnose and treat patients requiring assistance with health, neuro-musculoskeletal conditions, pain and injury management. Australian osteopaths are university-trained, government-registered allied health professionals collectively treating over 80,000 Australians every week, contributing over $350 million to the Australian economy. Osteopathy is one of 14 AHPRA registered health professions in Australia. Our core work is liaising with state and federal government, all other statutory bodies regarding professional, educational, legislative and regulatory issues as well as private enterprise. 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 through our collaborative work with Allied Health Professions Australia.

Ascot Vale Osteopathy is a leading healthcare clinic dedicated to supporting the musculoskeletal health and wellbeing of the local community. Founded in 2008 by Dr. Fiona McIntyre (Osteopath), our clinic has grown from a sole practitioner operation to a dynamic, multidisciplinary team, all committed to delivering evidence-based and patient-centred care.
For over 16 years, we have provided comprehensive osteopathic services, including manual therapy, dry needling, sports injury management, pregnancy care, rehabilitation, and exercise prescription. Our approach is grounded in the principles of osteopathy—treating the body as an integrated whole, focusing on the root causes of pain and dysfunction, and empowering patients through education and tailored management plans.
In 2020, Ascot Vale Osteopathy relocated to a modern, purpose-designed clinic. Our premises were thoughtfully created to offer a welcoming, comfortable, and professional environment that supports both patient care and team collaboration. This move enabled us to expand our services, enhance patient experience, and foster a culture of continuous learning and improvement.
Our team of experienced osteopaths and dedicated administrative staff work together to ensure every patient receives individualised attention and high-quality care. We cater to a diverse range of patients, from athletes and active individuals to families, older adults, and those referred through WorkSafe, TAC, DVA, and NDIS. Our clinic is also actively involved in the local community, collaborating with organisations such as the Ascot Vale Panthers Football Club to provide injury management and health education.
What sets Ascot Vale Osteopathy apart is our commitment to holistic care, our strong community focus, and our supportive, empowering environment. We believe in building genuine relationships with our patients, taking the time to listen, understand their goals, and work together towards optimal health outcomes.
