Work to date

●●●●● REFRESH - RE-RECRUITMENT TO BEGIN IN 2024 ●●●●●

In the first half of 2024, ORION will be inviting all registered osteopaths across Australia to participate in the ORION PBRN database. It is important that as many osteopaths participate in the ORION Project as possible in order to ensure the rigour and impact of the project. This will also be your opportunity to ensure your practice details, perspective and experience are counted in this ground-breaking study of national daily routine care in osteopathy across Australia.
