Meet Our Team

Sally has been practising Podiatry for over 10 years. Sally graduated from Charles Sturt University, Albury-Wodonga, and started her career as a new graduate in 2011 with Tammy Davis Podiatry. Sally worked at TDP for 5 years before moving to provide foot care in the Rochester and Echuca region in a public health setting.

Happily in 2020, Sally and her partner returned to Bendigo to stay and start a family. She was excited to be able to rejoin with the TDP team.

It is wonderful to have Sally and her expertise back in the fold. Sally brings a wide range of experience particularly in wound care and prevention, as well as a keen focus on the importance of reducing foot pain to improve balance and mobility. Sally is also a strong advocate for correct fitting footwear and helping her clients find the right fit and style for them.

In her spare time, Sally usually enjoys hiking and Mountain Bike Riding, however with a little one due November 2021 she will be kept busy chasing after little feet at home.

Tim, ​is currently our senior podiatrist and has been a loyal member of the TDP staff since 2017. Previously, Tim had worked in busy private podiatry practices in Horsham and Ballarat, where he developed a special interest in the management and treatment of lower limb injuries.

Biomechanics or the assessment of movement is Tim’s bread and butter. He loves the challenge of not only working out what is wrong but how to assist in the healing process to get you better as soon as possible.

In his own words he likes to state it’s a “treatment puzzle” where every piece is important no matter how big or small.

He’s very passionate about all aspects of podiatry and loves to treat every client like they’re a member of his family.

Tim is married to his beautiful wife Catherine, and with their fur baby Henry and a little bundle of joy on the way ​they are happily settled in Golden Square. Its where you’ll find them, walking the creek trail and grabbing a coffee at one for the great coffee spots in Bendigo.

Outside of work, you’ll find Tim either coaching or playing for North Bendigo Football Netball club, and during the summer months heading down the coast for a surf and to visit family.
