As a professional association, Osteopathy Australia is engaged in a diverse range of activities with an overarching goal to enhance and promote osteopathy, and research is a critical element of this.
The research areas included in our research priorities need to be equally broad and encompass clinical issues beyond technique or treatment efficacy.
Clear priorities in research for Osteopathy Australia will inform our research policy and all future funding. In doing so, this ensures the direction of research supported by us is consistent with the broader aims of Osteopathy Australia’s research strategy and supports the place of osteopathy in higher education and health care.
Osteopathy Australia's Research Committee advises the association on research policy and the development of strategies to promote research and scholarship in osteopathy. In addition, it has delegated responsibility for reviewing the scientific worth, validity and proposed methodology of research proposals.
The Research Committee recommends such research proposals to the Osteopathy Australia Board for consideration, and reports on its meetings and activities to the Board.
