The Osteopathy Service Descriptors describe the typical services that Australian osteopaths provide their patients, reflective of their university education, continuing areas of professional development, and the pricing principles supporting these services. This document is of use to practising osteopaths, private health insurers, government funding bodies and other stakeholder groups.
Please note that Osteopathy Australia does not dictate how an osteopath may implement these service descriptors in their clinical practice and acknowledges that they may be superseded by other factors such as regulation, government policy and legislation.
As part of a service, an osteopath may use a variety of techniques appropriate to the client’s condition. Osteopaths are trained to provide interventions such as manual therapy, exercise/activity prescription, cognitive/behavioral techniques, advice about home care and ancillary services.
