Osteopathy Australia Research Foundation

Contribute to the future of osteopathy

The Osteopathy Australia Research Foundation is dedicated to funding high-quality research that will shape the future of osteopathy. By supporting research, we are building the foundation for a stronger, evidence-based future for the profession.
 
The outcomes of this research will:

• Strengthen osteopathy’s role in primary healthcare, reinforcing its importance in patient care.
• Support lobbying and advocacy efforts, providing solid evidence to advocate for osteopathy in government and healthcare policy.
• Inform the development of clinical guidelines, ensuring practitioners have the best, research-backed tools for patient care.
• Guide CPD opportunities, keeping osteopaths up to date with the latest evidence and best practices.
• Promote osteopathy to the public, increasing awareness and understanding of osteopathy’s benefits.

What your donation will be used for

The funds raised by the Foundation will be used to support independent research projects that align with Osteopathy Australia’s research aims and priorities. Funding is disbursed through a competitive application process involving a call for applications and independent external reviews of those applications.
