Physio Spotlight: Bridie ⭐️

Our Sports Physiotherapist, Bridie, recently returned from Singapore, where she represented Australia as the team physiotherapist for the Under-23 Men’s and Women’s 3x3 teams at the FIBA 3x3 U23 Nations League, with the competition providing the opportunity to qualify for the upcoming World Cup.

It was an incredible campaign, with the women going undefeated with 18 wins from 18 games, while the men won an impressive 17 of their 18 games — earning their opportunity to compete on the world stage.

As team physiotherapist, Bridie’s role extends well beyond courtside injury management. A huge amount of preparation goes into each tour, including exercise prescription, injury prevention and management, athlete welfare check-ins, recovery planning, and preparing the medical equipment required to support the athletes throughout competition.

A highlight of the Singapore tour for Bridie was working alongside a fantastic group of staff and athletes who worked exceptionally well together, as well as having the opportunity to meet and work with new athletes.

Bridie has now had the amazing opportunity to represent Australia multiple times as a physiotherapist, and this Sunday she heads to Wuhan, China, with the Australian teams for the FIBA 3x3 U23 World Cup.

We wish Bridie and the teams the very best as they take on the world! 🇦🇺🏀

Karen Schneider Memorial Scholarship 🌟

The Karen Schneider Memorial Scholarship was established following Karen's passing in 2020. Karen was a pioneer in sports physiotherapy and, in recognition of her outstanding contribution to the profession, was awarded honorary Sports and Exercise Physiotherapist titling.

Karen was not only an exceptionally gifted physiotherapist but also a passionate mentor to countless young physiotherapists in Darwin and across Australia. Through Territory Sportsmedicine, the practice she established in Darwin in 2003, Karen created an environment centred on exceptional patient care, lifelong learning and the professional development of early-career clinicians. Many of those she mentored have gone on to establish their own successful practices or work at the highest levels of sports physiotherapy throughout Australia and internationally.

The scholarship was established to honour Karen's enduring commitment to education, mentorship and excellence in physiotherapy, while supporting the next generation of physiotherapists, regardless of their chosen area of practice.

CDU recognised all scholarship recipients and donors with the University bringing everyone together for one evening, giving people the chance to mingle and learn about students university pathways.

2026 Recipient:
Massive congratulations to Laura Luchetti, the recipient of this year's $5,000 Charles Darwin University – Karen Schneider Memorial Scholarship. Laura has been recognised for her dedication to her Physiotherapy studies at Charles Darwin University and her longstanding contribution to community sport.

We look forward to seeing Laura complete her studies and begin what we are sure will be a rewarding career in physiotherapy, in Darwin and wherever her career takes her. We know Karen would be incredibly proud of her achievements, and we wish Laura every success for the future.
