Testimonial from Emma about what she enjoys most about her role at Foundation Podiatry

"I have been fortunate to work at Foundation Podiatry over the last 2 years. Working in a small privately owned business has been very fulfilling. Hayley has created a positive, collaborative and happy work environment where opportunity for further skill development is encouraged and supported.

The challenge of working purely in Biomechanics has been both fun and rewarding. With over 12 years of Podiatry experience, I’m still presented with interesting cases that excite me.

Having the opportunity for flexible work hours has been amazing for my work/life balance, allowing me time to explore all the beauty far North has to offer. This is a job opportunity that doesn’t come around often, and one that I am sad to be leaving (but excited to embark on my around-Australia adventure!)"


So what's to love about Townsville?

Over 300 days of sunshine per year!

Yes it's hot in summer (that's what aircon & swimming is for) .... but the winter is glorious

3-15 minute drive to work 

Affordable lifestyle - median house price $430 000 (how good does earning a wicked income + actually being able to get on top of your mortgage sound!?!)

Magnetic Island only 20 min ferry ride - locals don't call it Magical Island for nothing

Doorstep to Great Barrier Reef

Waterfalls, creeks, hiking, camping, water sports galore

Airlie beach & Whitsundays down the road

Cairns, Tablelands & Daintree up the road

Large regional town (capital of NQ)

Population 200, 000 = lots of infrastructure, reputable schools and universities, hospitality, entertainment, sporting events and opportunities!

+ our beloved Cowboys
