Associate Osteopath

WEST OSTEOPATHY We're looking for an Osteopath to join our team Hoppers Crossing VIC │ Independent Contractor │ 2 days/week incl. Alternating Saturdays │ Start: ASAP If you're the kind of practitioner who genuinely loves what you do, who thinks carefully about your patients, talks through tough cases, and wants to be part of something meaningful, we'd really love to hear from you. West Osteopathy was founded in 2021 with one clear belief: treating a symptom without considering the systems behind it doesn't actually fix anything. We pay close attention to how pain pathways and the nervous system interact, and that understanding shapes everything we do, from how we treat patients to how we support each other as a team.
