Podiatrists

Stephen Farrell

BCom (Monash University), BPod (University of Newcastle)

I graduated from the University of Newcastle with a Bachelor of Podiatry in 2011 with high distinction in my final clinical exams. I now teach clinical skills to the podiatry students there and am an examiner for their finals.

I love my job and believe that podiatry is a profession that makes a positive impact on the clients’ quality of life.

I have a keen interest in various sports and have competed at a moderately competitive level in swimming, rugby and snow skiing. I am an active member in the Terrigal Surf Life Saving Club.

I became interested in podiatry after my grandfather suffered foot complications from his diabetes.
