Sports & Spinal

That's a wrap on another successful Better Outcomes Conference, proudly hosted in collaboration with Travis Schultz & Partners!

This weekend, we brought together people from across healthcare, allied health and personal injury for a day of learning, connection and collaboration, all with one shared goal: better outcomes for the people we support.

We were especially proud to bring together Katie Lyndon, CEO of Exercise & Sports Science Australia (ESSA), and Rob LoPresti, CEO of the Australian Physiotherapy Association, for the first time. It was a fantastic opportunity for them to connect with our physiotherapy and exercise physiology teams, as well as the wider Sports & Spinal Group, and share ideas about the future of our professions.

A huge thank you to our incredible experts, panellists and presenters for sharing their knowledge, and to our generous sponsors, VALD, ASICS, EMS DolorClast Oceania, Alpha Sport and Bared Footwear, for helping make the day such a success.

We’re already looking forward to Better Outcomes 2027. Until then, we can’t wait to see the ideas, connections and knowledge from this year continue to make a difference.

Welcome in. 💚

From a first appointment to a familiar routine, we love being part of your health journey.

It's Tradies National Health Month, an initiative by the Australian Physiotherapy Association (APA) highlighting the physical and mental demands faced by Australia's tradies.

The latest APA survey paints a concerning picture:
🔨 90% of tradies experienced work-related injuries or pain in the past year
🔨 76% said pain significantly impacts their quality of life
🔨 1/4 worry they'll need to retire early because of the toll their work takes on their bodies

Whether you're on the tools every day or managing the demands of a physically demanding job, looking after your body matters.

Our multidisciplinary team, including physiotherapists, exercise physiologists, podiatrists, occupational therapists, psychologists, dietitians, massage therapists and more, can work with you to assess injuries, manage pain, support recovery and help you stay healthy for the long haul.

A big thank you to the Australian Physiotherapy Association for continuing to shine a light on the health and wellbeing of Australia's tradies through Tradies National Health Month.

One week to go! 🎉

In just seven days, the Better Outcomes Conference 2026 will bring together an incredible community of clinicians, legal professionals and industry leaders for a day of learning, collaboration and connection.

We're looking forward to welcoming everyone to Brisbane and sharing a day dedicated to one shared goal: better outcomes.

See you soon!

It takes an incredible team to bring Better Outcomes Conference to life, and we couldn't do it without our amazing sponsors!

A huge thank you to these fantastic organisations for jumping on board and helping make the Better Outcomes Conference 2026 possible. We're so excited to have you with us for a day of learning, collaboration and connection.

See you in two weeks!

It’s hard to believe we’re almost eight months into the year!

To our 2026 New Grad cohort, we couldn’t be prouder of everything you’ve achieved.

Over the past few months, we’ve watched you grow in confidence, embrace every learning opportunity and build meaningful relationships with your patients. Seeing your appointment books fill, hearing the positive feedback from patients and colleagues, and watching you settle into your teams has been incredibly rewarding.

Recently, we also came together for our Mid-Year Refresher Training, taking time to reflect, reconnect and continue building on everything you've learned so far. Supporting our New Grads doesn't stop after orientation, it's something we're committed to throughout the year and beyond.

You're doing an incredible job, and we can't wait to see what the rest of the year has in store.

Just two weeks to go!

The countdown is on for the 🙌

In just 14 days, clinicians, legal professionals and industry leaders from more than 20 disciplines will come together in Brisbane to learn from one another, share ideas and strengthen the way we work together.

Why? Because when professionals collaborate, the people we care for benefit.

Proudly hosted by Sports & Spinal Group and Travis Schultz & Partners, the Better Outcomes Conference is all about building stronger connections, sharing knowledge and finding new ways to deliver even better care and support for our patients and communities.

We can't wait to welcome our colleagues and partners for another inspiring day of learning, collaboration and connection.

Australia is facing a chronic shortage of healthcare professionals, and we urgently need more graduates entering the allied health workforce.

To qualify, students across occupational therapy, physiotherapy, psychology and other allied health professions are required to complete hundreds, and in some cases thousands, of hours of mandatory unpaid clinical placement.

Many experience significant financial hardship during this time, often referred to as 'placement poverty', due to lost income and the added costs of travel, accommodation, food and other living expenses.

To help address this issue, Allied Health Professions Australia (AHPA) has launched a national petition calling for the Commonwealth Prac Payment to be expanded to all allied health students.

We encourage you to support the next generation of allied health professionals by signing the petition and helping end placement poverty.
