Amelia Tobias, Director, Senior Neuromuscular Orthotist

 With over 15 years of experience across Prosthetics & Orthotics and broader healthcare roles, Amelia has brought together a diverse range of skills and experiences to establish Ortho Advantage — a service uniquely adapted to the Gippsland community.


Early in her career, Amelia  worked in the Solomon Islands, teaching Ponseti casting methods and boots-and-bars techniques from Strathclyde University. She founded an amputation prevention program and community partnership project with one of the Solomon Islands’ largest coconut oil producers to employ people with disabilities in making coconut bowls for retail. Amelia has also worked extensively in Australia, including roles at Westmead Children’s Hospital, Royal Children’s Hospital, and Bass Coast Health.


Outside of Prosthetics & Orthotics, Amelia has pursued diverse interests — from sailing and riding to London via the west coast, to applying P&O skills in pottery, hempcrete building, and cabinetry.
