Feeling really proud of this moment 🙌

During my time setting up and running the UniSQ student-led Exercise Physiology clinic, I always knew we were doing good work…

But now we’ve got the data to back it.

📍 Two poster presentations came out of that work:
• Telehealth Exercise for Arthropathies
• Patient Profiles in a Student-Run Clinic

And here’s the key thing…

This didn’t happen by accident.

From day one, I made sure students were:
✔ Completing thorough initial assessments
✔ Tracking outcomes properly
✔ Reviewing and progressing clients consistently

Because without data… you’re just guessing.

📊 What we found:

* Significant improvements in pain & stiffness
* Better functional capacity (hello 30-sec sit-to-stand gains 💪)
* Real-world improvements in daily living

PLUS we uncovered just how complex these clients actually are:
👉 Multiple comorbidities
👉 Higher clinical risk
👉 Real need for structured, supervised exercise

I’m currently completing an MBA workplace project through QUT and would really value input from people working in general practice.

My project focuses on developing a practical GP referral pathway for Trek2Health, particularly for WorkCover-related referrals.

I’m looking for brief input from:
• GPs
• Practice Nurses
• Practice Managers

The survey asks about referral barriers, preferred referral processes, and what information would make it easier for general practices to refer to a Trek2Health program (www.trek2health.org.au).

It takes around 5–8 minutes to complete. Responses will be reported in summary form only, and no individual or practice will be identified.

Survey link: https://forms.gle/cfMQr8WbA13vYnRs7

I would be very grateful if you could complete it by **22 May 2026** or share it with anyone in your network who may be able to help.

You are invited to participate in a short survey as part of an MBA Integrated Workplace Project through QUT. This project is focused on developing an evidence-informed GP engagement pilot for Trek2Health, with the aim of improving referral pathways for WorkCover-related patients in Brisbane North an...

Over the past 18 months, I’ve been exploring how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can actually support clinicians in their day-to-day work.

Not to replace professional judgement.

But to help reduce the significant administrative burden that so many allied health professionals face.

Across healthcare, I’m already seeing AI being used to assist with things like:

• summarising research articles
• drafting reports and documentation
• creating client education resources
• generating marketing content for clinics
• improving productivity and workflow systems

Yet when I speak with clinicians, I keep hearing the same thing:

"AI sounds interesting… but I have no idea how it applies to my practice."

And honestly, that’s completely understandable.

Most of the AI conversations happening online are very tech-focused and not really designed for clinicians or health business owners.

That’s exactly why I’ve started working on a new initiative:

"Allied Health AI Academy"

A program designed specifically for allied health professionals who want practical ways to use AI in their clinical practice or health business.

Not complicated tech.

Just real, useful tools that can help clinicians work smarter while maintaining professional standards, clinical reasoning and patient safety.

Before developing the first program, I’m gathering insights from clinicians about:

• how AI is currently being used in practice
• where clinicians feel it could help
• what concerns people have about AI in healthcare

If you're an allied health professional, I would genuinely value your input.

I’ve created a short 3-minute survey to help understand what clinicians actually need.

👉 https://forms.gle/jT247aHtbCEWEBm67

Healthcare is evolving quickly, and I believe clinicians who learn how to use AI responsibly and ethically will be well-positioned for the future.

I’d love to hear from you as well.

Have you used AI in your clinical work or business yet?

Artificial Intelligence is rapidly changing many industries, including healthcare. I’m currently developing an educational program designed specifically for allied health professionals to help clinicians understand how AI can support clinical practice, reduce administrative workload, and improve p...

Happy International Women’s Day to the women quietly doing it all.

The clinicians running a full day of clients…
Building a business after hours…
Raising families…
And still finding the courage to back themselves.

The health industry needs more women who lead, create, and innovate.

Today we celebrate you. 💜

Last night’s Network event left me buzzing with inspiration ✨

Listening to ’Neill AM and The Hon. MP (interviewed by the incredible Prof. Sarah Kelly OAM) talk about careers, transitions and legacy was a reminder that the strength and mindset built through sport can launch the next big chapter of anyone’s life.

As a new Minerva mentor, I’m supporting an athlete who’s preparing for life beyond competition — helping her map out how to start her own health business and transition confidently into her next career. 💪

I also had the chance to meet and some truly inspiring mentors — what a powerhouse network of women lifting each other up!

Together we soar 🕊️
