Simon Melling

Member Australian Physiotherapy Association
Dip. in Physiology & Exercise Science (Ireland)
B. Science (Hons) in Physiotherapy

Hailing from Dublin and studying in Edinburgh, Simon brings a touch of the blarney to the AllCare team. After working across the UK and Ireland, Simon relocated to Tasmania in 2015 to fulfil a desire to work as a physiotherapist in Australia. The move has paid dividends, as he has been able to pursue his passion for private practice physiotherapy, with interests in a broad range of musculoskeletal, rehabilitation and sporting patient groups, including having supported the Tasmanian Women’s Hockey Team.

Simon is a keen soccer player and golfer and has played both to a high level. He tries to stay as active as possible and is immersing himself in Tasmania’s great outdoors whenever he can. And when the swell’s up and the breeze is offshore, he can even be found dipping his toes in the cool Tasmanian waters as he seeks to integrate himself fully with the hardy local culture!
