25.01.2022 After a long awaited 12-months, our Stepney redevelopment project has been completed! With major upgrades to our orthopaedic, physiotherapy and podiatry clinic reception areas and consulting rooms, our hospital reception, and the addition of a brand-new gym and clinical pilates studio, we’re excited to showcase the finished product. A huge thank you to builders Harrold and Kite and Greenway Architects for bringing this project to life, and to all patients and staff for bearing with us over the past year

24.01.2022 Does 1995 feel like just yesterday or was it really 25 years ago?! Let's take a trip down memory lane when; eBay debuted, Today Tonight aired, Carlton won the AFL premiership, blue M&M's were introduced, Toy Story was Pixar's first feature-length film and the first computer animated film in history, but more significantly it was the year that Sandy Nell joined our physiotherapy reception team! 25 years of service has never looked so good!

21.01.2022 Karina has been a sportsmed employee for more than half her life! For 25 years she has worked in many roles including; working in the wards, was a hospital coordinator, moved into the perioperative department as a recovery nurse and is now working in a newly created role of Surgical Bookings Coordinator! Having had the opportunity to work in these different roles has given her great insight as to the importance of an efficiently run perioperative department. Congratulations Karina on your incredible sportsmed milestone and journey! Here’s to many more
