About Osteopathy Australia

In 1955, Osteopathy Australia was founded in Victoria as a state-based organisation and became a national body in 1991 after the merger of state-based associations. 

Today, Osteopathy Australia is the peak representative of osteopaths,  their interests and the profession in every state and territory across Australia. 

The association’s external focus includes promoting osteopathy, lobbying, policy development, and maintaining clinical quality.

Its membership services include information and advice, clinical excellence and guidelines, continuing professional development, and healthcare business and support.
