Imogen Lewis is a rural generalist physiotherapist working with the Cape York Allied Health Outreach Team, travelling by small aircraft from Cairns to five remote communities across central Cape York. Imogen’s work demands clinical breadth, adaptability and cultural understanding as well as a willingness to spend hours in the air to bring physiotherapy close to people who might otherwise have little or no access to it.

For Dr Rose Boucaut, prevention has always been central to physiotherapy. She talks to Marina Williams about a career dedicated to keeping people safe at work.
