Report: Osteopathy Australia transition into practice program
A snapshot of osteopathy within the allied health industry
Osteopathy Australia's transition to practice program recognises that the move from studying to working as an osteopath is a challenging time. In Osteopathy Australia-delivered workshops, our participants receive a snapshot of osteopathy within the allied health industry and learn from the best, gain insights with thought leadership from key stakeholders, and take advantage of unique opportunities to network with your peers in person and online in ways that will positively and significantly impact your professional life.
Workshop Topics can include...
- Lessons learned from experienced practitioners
- The diverse models of practice
- Business and financial skills in accounting, taxation, and financial management
- Life as a practitioner
- What regulation means
- How to handle employment issues
The Transition to Practice Program also features speakers from industry leaders such as the Osteopathy Board of Australia (OBA) and Guild Insurance, as well as advice on the reality of practice from experienced colleagues, new graduates and Osteopathy Australia staff.
