The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) has released the report about podiatrists.
Quote:
§ In 2003 there were 2,361 registered podiatrists in Australia, representing an increase of 15% from registrations in 1999 (2,048), (excluding the Northern Territory, where registration figures were not available in either year).
§ Over 90% of the AIHW survey respondents were working in the profession.
§ Most employed podiatrists in the survey (96%) were in clinical work, involved in direct patient care.
§ Just under two-thirds of the employed podiatrists in the survey were female.
