No, you do not need a referral to see an Osteopath.

Wear comfortable loose fitting clothing. Depending on the area of your body being assessed and requiring treatment your Osteopath may ask you to undress. It is important that you feel comfortable and you may therefore like to bring shorts to wear.

In Australia Osteopaths study for a minimum of 4 years and the length of study will depend on the university attended.

RMIT- 5 years
