28 Years of Experience - A Difference You Can Feel
Andrew Clarke - Orthotsist
Andrew Clarke professional profile
Andrew graduated from La Trobe University in 1996 with a Bachelor of Prosthetics and Orthotics. He began his clinical career at The Alfred Hospital in Prahran, where he worked as an orthotist for three years and gained broad experience across all areas of orthotic management.
During his time at The Alfred, Andrew developed a particular interest and expertise in fracture management. Working closely with the hospital's fracture clinic, he gained extensive experience in the conservative and post-operative management of acute fractures, developing specialised skills that continue to inform his clinical approach today.
Â
In 1999, Andrew established his own private practice, Melbourne Orthotics. Over the following decades, he has been instrumental in the growth and development of the practice, building a reputation for high-quality clinical care, technical expertise and meticulous craftsmanship.
Andrew's approach combines strong clinical knowledge, careful attention to detail and practical technical skill, with a focus on creating orthotic solutions that are tailored to each individual's needs.
Today, Northern Rivers Orthotics brings this same level of experience and personalised care to the Northern Rivers community, with the benefit of Andrew's extensive clinical background and the resources and administrative support of Melbourne Orthotics.
