Sports Medicine is a vital area of concern for all athletes. It is rare if not impossible to find an athlete who has had an injury or illness free career. WAIS is committed to providing access to medical services to all athletes using practitioners who are experienced in working with, and caring for, elite athletes.
The Institute has developed a network of doctors, physiotherapists, masseurs and dietitians to cover the metropolitan area. These service providers are highly recommended as individuals who have successfully assisted elite athletes.
Medical Policy
The WAIS Medical Policy addresses issues from drug testing, medical procedures, insurance to vaccinations against infectious diseases. It is important that all athletes familiarise themselves with the details contained in this policy, in addition to the WAIS Drugs in Sport Policy.
Medical and Physiotherapy Screening
It is a requirement for all athletes to undertake a WAIS initiated medical and physiotherapy screen.
Staff
Dr Carmel Goodman, Medical Co-ordinator (part time)
Carmel is responsible for coordination of all medical services associated with the Institute.
