About Us
We provide health and injury management services in private practice.
Our mission is to improve the quality of care, education, protection and advice that children and young adults receive in the community sport setting, in relation to their health and wellbeing.
Our vision is to see community sport and recreational activities enriching the lives of the greatest number of children and young adults possible; by providing an environment that is safe (socially, culturally, physically and emotionally), is broadly accessible, and is sensitive to the needs of all involved.
Our values are: Integrity, Leadership, Quality and Respect.
Our commitment is to focus on quality outcomes by applying clinical best practice; and always align our services with our Child and Youth Risk Management Strategies.
