CAITLIN HOBDAY

Occupational Therapist/Lymphoedema Therapist

Caitlin is a dedicated and compassionate Occupational Therapist, Accredited Lymphoedema Therapist, and Head & Neck Lymphoedema Therapist. Since joining the team in 2022, she has worked closely with Kate to deliver high-quality, hands-on care using innovative OncoLaser™ treatment using MLS Laser, helping patients achieve optimal outcomes throughout their cancer rehabilitation journey.

With a Bachelor of Occupational Therapy (Honours) completed in 2023 and specialised lymphoedema training at Macquarie University in early 2024, Caitlin brings a wealth of clinical knowledge and a deep commitment to evidence-based, individualised care. She is a registered member of the Australian Lymphology Association (ALA) and continues to pursue advanced training to expand her expertise.

Caitlin provides comprehensive, hands-on treatment including manual lymphatic drainage, movement-based therapy, and garment prescription to ensure a holistic approach to recovery. Her experience also includes rehabilitation in acute post-operative orthopaedic settings, where she developed skills that now enhance and achieve optimal rehabilitation outcomes.

Most recently, Caitlin has completed her qualifications to become a Head & Neck Lymphoedema Therapist, broadening patient access to specialised care and reinforcing her commitment to best-practice cancer rehabilitation.

Caitlin is deeply committed to ongoing research and professional learning, staying up to date with the latest developments in cancer rehabilitation, lymphoedema care, and MLS Laser to provide the best possible outcomes for her patients.

Fun fact: Caitlin’s love for travel once led her to work as a travel agent! These days, you’ll see her chasing her (very big) puppy along the beach in her spare time.
