Osteopathy Australia is the peak body representing the interests of osteopaths, osteopathy as a profession and consumer rights to access osteopathic services. Osteopathy Australia was founded as a Victorian state-based organisation in 1955 and became the national body in 1991 after a merger of state-based osteopathic associations.
Today Osteopathy Australia represents osteopaths in every state and territory across Australia. The core external focus of the association is raising awareness of osteopathy, lobbying, policy development and clinical quality; while its focus for membership services includes a wide array of information and advice, clinical excellence and guidelines, continuing professional development, healthcare business and support.

In Australia, osteopaths are government registered allied health practitioners who complete university training in anatomy, physiology, pathology, general healthcare diagnosis, and osteopathic techniques. Osteopaths focus on your neuro-musculoskeletal system - the bones, muscles, nerves and other tissues that support your body and control its movements.
Osteopathy Australia members have access to a wide array of information and advice, clinical excellence and guidelines, continuing professional development, advanced practice opportunities, a dedicated HR service, business information and support, and access to exclusive member-only platforms.

Osteopathy Australia works hard to gain professional rights and recognition for osteopaths in Australia through advocacy and political lobbying.
