What sets Australian Physio Mentoring apart
We put your aspirations and career goals at the centre of everything we do.
Since 2014, we've been working with physios at every career stage, from students navigating their first placement to experienced clinicians pursuing specialisation and we've built a team of specialist, titled and near-peer physiotherapists who bring genuine expertise across multiple clinical streams.
When you work with Australian Physio Mentoring, you are working with physiotherapists who have formally demonstrated the highest level of clinical expertise in their field, not just years of experience, but verified, assessed, specialist-level knowledge.
That distinction matters, and we think you deserve to know the difference.
Specialist level expertise
APM is led by Jennifer Callaghan, Specialist Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist - one of fewer than 100 in Australia.
