About Me

Hi, I’m Trystan Conway.

I’m a physiotherapist turned strategic advisor. I co-founded and scaled a national Allied Health provider to 300+ clinicians, and now I help providers across the sector navigate reform, strengthen their operations and make better decisions.

I sit between providers, government and the people they serve. My advice is independent, confidential and grounded in lived experience.
