🎉 A Huge Congratulations to Sheshna Rai – Now an Endorsed Podiatrist! 👏

We are beyond proud to celebrate this incredible achievement for our podiatrist Sheshna, who is now officially an endorsed podiatrist!

This endorsement marks a significant milestone in Sheshna’s professional journey, reflecting over two years of hard work, dedication, and consistent learning. From long hours of study to applying her knowledge in the clinic every day, she has worked tirelessly to reach this point and we couldn’t be more excited to see her step confidently into this next phase of her career.

As an endorsed podiatrist, Sheshna can now prescribe scheduled medications when appropriate, helping streamline treatment and improve outcomes for our clients. It’s just one more way she’s going above and beyond to provide exceptional care.

A big thank you to the people who supported Sheshna throughout her endorsement journey - particularly Dean, Danny, and Josie. Your guidance, encouragement, and belief in her potential made a world of difference.

Well done, Sheshna! We're so lucky to have you on the Prosper team and can’t wait to see the continued impact you'll make in the world of podiatry. 🌟

📸 Here’s Sheshna with one of our long-time clients, Sue.

It’s National Podiatry Week!

This week, from 13th to 19th October, we’re celebrating Podiatry Week 2025- a nationally recognised campaign raising awareness about foot and ankle health, and the essential role podiatrists play in keeping our communities moving.

This year’s theme, “From First Steps to Next Steps”, highlights how podiatry supports you through every stage of life; from tiny toes to active adults and beyond.

At Prosper, we’re proud of our dedicated podiatry team across both locations who help our patients move, heal, and thrive every single day. 🦶

A big thank you to our wonderful patients for trusting us with your foot health every day. Here’s to strong, happy feet and the podiatrists who help make it happen!

At Prosper, one of our core values is “Little Clinic, Big Impact” and one way we bring this to life is through our Prosper Impact Partnership.

Through this initiative, each team member receives $500 to support a local organisation making a meaningful difference in their community.

This week, we’re proud to shine a light on the Geelong Nepalese Association Inc - a vibrant, Geelong-based organisation dedicated to promoting, preserving, and celebrating Nepali culture across the Barwon South West region. ✨

This group was nominated by our podiatrist Sheshna, an active member of the association who generously volunteers her time to help organise cultural events that foster connection and community.

Last weekend, they celebrated Teej Festival. A joyous occasion filled with traditional music and dance, honouring womanhood and the strength of Nepalese women.

At Prosper, it’s about more than healthcare it’s about connection, culture, and community.
