Members build careers on both sides of the profession — some inside teams, clinics and organisations, others running their own practice. Here's how the two compare.
Salaried roles within an organisation — a steady income, defined hours, and the backing of an established brand or team.
Running your own practice — the highest earning ceiling in the profession, with income scaling to the hours and clients you take on.
Registration opens doors across the industry. Members practise in a wide range of settings — from private clinics to elite sport.
