We’re excited to welcome back Ghislene, our APA Sports and Exercise Physiotherapist, who has just returned from volunteering at the Pacific Mini Games 2025 in Palau as part of the Australian Volunteers Program.

During her time at the Games, Ghislene worked alongside elite athletes from across the Pacific, delivering hands-on physiotherapy support in a fast-paced, high-performance environment. In addition to her clinical work, she also played a vital role in mentoring and upskilling local rehabilitation staff, sharing knowledge, techniques, and best practices to help build local capacity in sports injury management and rehabilitation.

Here’s what Ghislene had to say about her time in Palau: " My time at the Pacific Mini Games in Palau was truly unforgettable. I had the chance to work with some incredibly passionate athletes and be completely immersed in the warmth and spirit of the Pacific culture. I met so many amazing people along the way, and every day was filled with gratitude, inspiration, and genuine joy. It’s an experience that will always stay close to my heart."

Now back in the clinic, Ghislene is excited to continue supporting you on your health and performance journey. Her schedule is now open—book early to secure your appointment: www.physiotherapywest.au ph: 9456 5553

• Competency with technology and the ability to learn new systems and procedures. Our systems are specific to the healthcare field but can be taught to you if you possess a good learning ability.

We have had a dramatic start to our day. Turned up to work with water everywhere - a burst water pipe. Unfortunately the clinic will now be closed today and tomorrow. We did manage to put Caillin to good use though...
