Maureen Bailey, the Practice principal, graduated from The West Australian Institute of Technology with a Bachelor of Applied Science (Physiotherapy) in 1974. She has worked both overseas and interstate and has special interests in sports, women’s health, musculoskeletal dysfunctions, orthopaedic rehabilitation and occupational health. Maureen has been an Australian Physiotherapy Association member since graduation and served on the ACT Branch Council for a total of nine years. She has also been a member of the Registration Board. Maureen is currently a member of the Ergonomics Society of Australia, Continence Foundation of Australia and Sports Medicine Association. The practice is constantly evolving and Maureen drives this process. For example our latest direction is with the addition of an Ultrasound for muscle retraining. Maureen has travelled as team physiotherapist with hockey teams. When not working Maureen is involved with hockey and orienteering, as a supporter, watcher of her children and a participant. She escapes it all by walking her dogs, reading and listening to music. |  |

Carla Carnegie runs a very efficient office and has an enormous corporate knowledge. She has been with the practice since 1988 and has the unenviable task of keeping us all in order!! Carla has a wonderful ability to remember everyone who passes through and makes all welcome. When not at work Carla likes to escape to her van at the coast and is currently planning the trip of a lifetime…..who knows where and when!! |  |

Kathryn Russell is our office face when Carla is off exploring. She has a background in nursing and when not helping us out runs the family business. Kathryn spends her spare time, at least some of it, watching her sons play hockey and plays a mean Goalie herself at times!! |  |
