AHPRA REGISTERED CHIROPRACTOR · WELLBEING CHIROPRACTIC

Dr Robbie Hunt

Founder & Chairman · Wellbeing Chiropractic

I’m Dr Robbie Hunt, founder and chairman of Wellbeing Chiropractic. My path into chiropractic began as a patient: a serious car accident and two years of rehabilitation at Epworth Hospital showed me what the body can recover from. I graduated from RMIT University with an award for clinical excellence, found the early years in practice hard, and after time in London and training with international experts I opened my first clinic in Pakenham. Wellbeing grew from there to more than 50 clinics across three states.

RMIT Clinical Excellence Award

Mentorship at the core

A clinician in RMIT University’s mentor program for chiropractic students, and a mentor to every chiropractor who joins Wellbeing.

What Robbie set out to fix

New graduates left to work it out alone

Robbie had the technical skills when he graduated but little guidance on how to build a practice. Wellbeing exists so that no young chiropractor has to feel that frustration.

Care that varies from clinic to clinic

A clear philosophy and strong systems mean a patient walking into any Wellbeing clinic can expect the same approach, the same standards and the same welcome.

Learning that stops at graduation

Clinical development is continuous at Wellbeing: mentoring, training with international experts, and a culture of care that never stops learning.

The idea behind Wellbeing is simple to state and hard to do: mentor chiropractors properly, give them systems that work, and patients receive consistent, careful treatment wherever they are. That principle has carried the group from a single practice in Pakenham to clinics across Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland.

A patient first, then a chiropractor, then a founder

Robbie’s chiropractic journey began on the other side of the treatment table. After a serious motor vehicle accident he spent two years in a rehabilitation program at Epworth Hospital, and it was through that long experience of healing and returning to full health that he learned first-hand what the human body is capable of, and discovered chiropractic. He went on to graduate from RMIT University with a Bachelor of Applied Science (Chiropractic) and a Bachelor of Science (Clinical Science), earning an award for clinical excellence, then worked as a locum chiropractor in multidisciplinary practices around Melbourne and volunteered internationally. Like many new chiropractors, though, he found the early years tough: he had the technical skills but little guidance on how to truly excel in practice, and feeling disheartened, he took a step back.

After time living and working in London he returned to Australia with a fresh perspective. He invested in extensive training, learning from international experts and honing his approach, until he had a clear philosophy and strong systems in place. His mission was simple: to mentor young chiropractors so they would never feel the frustration he did, and so patients would receive consistently good care. That is how Wellbeing began. Robbie opened his first clinic, Hunt Chiro, in Pakenham, Victoria, a practice that still thrives today, and from there Wellbeing grew into one of Australia’s largest privately owned chiropractic groups, with more than 50 clinics across three states.

Over more than two decades in practice Robbie cared for athletes, including Olympic medallists, as well as performers, business leaders and thousands of everyday patients. Health education became a passion: in 2012 he published The Chiropractic Way to Health, he is a clinician in RMIT University’s mentor program for chiropractic students, and he speaks on health to corporate audiences. Today, as Founder and Chairman, he no longer consults, and his former patients at Wellbeing Chiropractic Hawthorn are cared for by Dr Josh Tyquin, who practises in a similar style. Away from work you will find him cycling down Beach Road, travelling, or with his family.

Mentor the practitioner, & the patient is looked after

Robbie’s philosophy came from his own experience: technical skill alone does not make a good practitioner, and a good practitioner needs guidance, systems and time to grow. Wellbeing is built around that. New chiropractors are mentored from day one, clinical development continues throughout their careers, and the systems behind every clinic are designed so the practitioner can focus on the person in front of them.

Having spent two years as a rehabilitation patient himself, he also knows what it is like to sit on the other side of the table, and that perspective sets the standard he expects in every Wellbeing clinic. As Founder and Chairman he continues to guide the group’s vision and invest in every member of the team, from senior RMIT students on placement to the practice partners who lead their own Wellbeing clinics.

“I learned what the body can recover from as a patient long before I learned it as a chiropractor. Wellbeing exists so the next generation is mentored properly, and so every patient gets the same careful attention, whichever clinic they walk into.”

Because Robbie’s own early years were hard without it. Mentoring young chiropractors so they never feel that frustration, and so patients receive consistent care, is the reason Wellbeing exists.

Then a Bachelor of Applied Science (Chiropractic) and a Bachelor of Science (Clinical Science) from RMIT University with an award for clinical excellence, locum work around Melbourne, international volunteering, time in London and extensive training with international experts.
