Oliver Fawcett
Senior Podiatrist and Founder
Oliver graduated with a Bachelor of Applied Science in Podiatry from Queensland University of Technology in 1995 and established Samford’s first private podiatry practice the following year — bringing quality foot care to the local community for the first time.
A Samford local who grew up in the district and attended Samford State School, Oliver has spent the past 30 years caring for his neighbours, friends and fellow community members. Over that time he has built deep expertise in advanced therapies including VHO nail bracing, Foot Mobilisation Techniques, shockwave therapy, and custom orthotic design with onsite manufacture.
Oliver loves growing the Foot Health Clinic team and bringing the latest evidence-based techniques to Samford. He has a particular interest in the foot health challenges of multiday hiking — one of his favourite pursuits. Blister management, boot selection, hiking orthotics and sock advice are just some of the areas where he helps walkers prepare for and recover from long trails.
