Summit Osteopathy

Summit Osteopathy

Founded in 2019, Summit Osteopathy is a thriving osteopathic clinic based in Shelley, WA, with a satellite clinic in Wagin, a rural town 250km south of Perth. Our vision is to empower people to get the most out of life—with passion, joy, and purpose. We work closely with our patients to help them realise their own summit, whether that’s regaining function, overcoming persistent pain, or simply feeling more confident in their bodies.

At Summit, we take a measured, evidence-based approach that tailors treatment to each individual. Using osteopathic reasoning, education, and collaboration, we aim to provide the best conditions for patients to thrive. We support them in feeling in control of their health and empowered to take charge of their well-being.

Our Team

Our team consists of four osteopaths, all committed to lifelong learning, teamwork, and patient-centered care. We use a mix of direct and indirect techniques, with a strong focus on patient education and empowerment. Three of our four osteopaths have completed additional training in Visceral Osteopathy, and our Clinical Education Coordinator, Madeleine Goodman, holds a Professional Certificate in Pain Neuroscience Education. Her expertise allows us to integrate pain education and osteopathy to help those experiencing persistent pain.

We work with a broad demographic, typically treating the general population (ages 8 and above). Our referrals are 75% word of mouth and 25% from local health professionals, including some very supportive GPs who trust and recommend our care.

As a new practitioner, you’ll find Summit Osteopathy to be a highly supportive environment. We have a structured mentorship program led by senior clinicians, featuring:

• One-on-one mentorship

• Collaborative tutorials

• An open-door policy for clinical guidance (feel free to ask our clinician if this is true!)

• Paid leave for CPD 

We believe in fostering a relaxed, well-organised, and efficient work environment where both clinicians and patients can thrive.

What We Offer - Employment, Structured Mentoring and Unique Clinical Experiences

We employ our osteopaths under a base salary with a bonus structure, ensuring financial stability while rewarding performance. We also provide paid leave for CPD, so you can continue growing in your career. Our osteopaths are happy to share their experiences working with this model—it’s designed to be sustainable, rewarding, and supportive.

One unique aspect of working with us is our Wagin satellite clinic, where we provide osteopathic care to a rural community. Practitioners travel (with a colleague) to Wagin every three weeks for two-day trips, offering treatment to patients who may not otherwise have access to osteopathy. New graduates are expected to attend four trips per year, always supported by a senior clinician. These trips are highly rewarding, giving you the opportunity to work on the front lines of healthcare and make a significant impact in people’s lives.
