About Osteopathic Interns
An Osteopathic Intern has completed four years of full-time formal study with 6 months remaining. They have been deemed safe and competent to practice Osteopathy by the University in which they are studying. As Interns are not fully qualified, they are closely supervised by a senior Osteopath(s) who has been practising for a minimum of five years. The Universities’ Insurance fully covers the Osteopathic Intern for all Osteopathic Treatment where this is provided at an approved practise (Geelong Osteopathic & Healthcare Clinic) with an approved supervisor.
 
Interns do not have a Medicare provider number, therefore they are not able to treat patients claiming Health Insurance, DVA, TAC, WS, or the Medicare enhanced primary care rebate. Intern appointments are unavailable online.
