20 years. Thank you.

Twenty years ago today, on 1 August 2006, I unlocked the door to my own podiatry practice for the very first time.

I had no idea what the next two decades would hold.

Since then I've treated children taking their first steps, watched them grow into adults, and now have the privilege of caring for some of their own children. I've shared in weddings, new babies, retirements and milestone birthdays. I've celebrated recoveries, supported people through illness, and sometimes simply been there for a chat when life was difficult.

That's the extraordinary thing about general practice. We don't just treat feet.

We become part of people's lives, and they become part of ours.

To every patient who has trusted me, recommended me to family or friends, referred a loved one, or simply walked back through our door year after year...

Thank you.

Thank you for allowing me to do the job that 13-year-old Danielle dreamed of doing.

Thank you to every member of my team, past and present, who has helped shape this practice into what it is today.

Thank you to my family and friends for their encouragement, patience and unwavering support through every stage of this journey.

And finally, thank you to the Revesby community.

Twenty years ago, you welcomed a young podiatrist into your lives.

You've kept me here ever since.

I still love what I do.

I still feel honoured every time someone chooses our practice.

And I still look forward to coming to work each day.

Here's to the next chapter.

With gratitude,

Danielle

Never stop learning...

When I was 13 years old, I thought becoming a podiatrist meant finishing university and going to work.

What I've learnt over the past 20 years is that graduation is really just the beginning.

Twenty years into my career, while running a busy practice, raising two daughters and navigating some significant personal changes, I did something I never imagined I'd do.

I went back to university.

In 2025, I completed a Graduate Certificate in Person-centred Diabetes Care and Education through Western Sydney University.

People sometimes ask why I'd choose to study again after so many years in practice.

The answer is simple.

Healthcare never stands still, and neither should we.

Diabetes is one of the leading causes of foot complications and lower limb amputations, yet so many of these can be prevented through education, early intervention and collaborative care. The course challenged me to think differently, deepened my understanding of person-centred care, and has changed the way I work with people living with diabetes every day.

It has also complemented my work at Tharawal Aboriginal Medical Service, where I've seen first-hand the difference that education, prevention and culturally safe care can make to people's lives.

One of the things I love most about healthcare is that there is always something new to learn. Every patient teaches me something. Every course broadens my perspective. Every new piece of knowledge has the potential to improve someone's quality of life.

After 20 years, I'm still learning.

And I hope I always will be.

Giving back...

One of the most rewarding parts of my career has been sharing what I've learnt with others.

Over the years I've had the privilege of presenting to community groups such as the Revesby Ladies' Group and local Probus clubs, helping people better understand foot health. I've also worked alongside our local Athlete's Foot stores during their back-to-school campaigns, talking with families about healthy footwear for growing feet.

I've also been fortunate to contribute to healthcare more broadly through the South Western Sydney Primary Health Network, helping develop the Podiatry Model of Care to improve access to podiatry services and strengthen referral pathways for our local community.

In 2018, I was invited to supervise Western Sydney University podiatry students during an outreach clinic at Tharawal Aboriginal Medical Service. What began as a short-term opportunity grew into something much more meaningful, and in 2021 I became the primary supervising clinician.

Working alongside students while caring for the Aboriginal community has been one of the greatest privileges of my career. It has challenged me, expanded my understanding of cultural safety, and taught me lessons that no textbook ever could.

Watching students grow in confidence while building relationships with patients and the Tharawal community reminds me why I love teaching. Knowing we've helped improve health outcomes within the Macarthur Aboriginal community makes that work even more rewarding.

After more than 20 years as a podiatrist, I still believe the best clinicians never stop learning.

Growing into today's clinic...

When I purchased the practice in 2006, I shared a single treatment room inside another business. Over the years, I learnt that subleasing had both benefits and challenges.

I began at Allen's Hearing on Marco Avenue with Stuart Rook, another small business owner who understood the needs of a growing practice. As ownership changed over the years, eventually becoming Connect Hearing, I learnt that large organisations understandably operate very differently to small businesses.

As the practice grew, so did we. I expanded to two treatment rooms and later moved with Connect Hearing to Selems Parade. Although we lost some clinical space, I gained wonderful colleagues in Kate, Lauren and Michelle, and there was never a shortage of laughter.

By 2023, it was finally time for the biggest leap yet... our own premises.

The move wasn't easy. Builders fell through, certification issues caused delays, and it became the toughest business challenge I'd ever faced. But today, I'm incredibly proud of the clinic we've built and the space we welcome our patients into every day.

Around this time, Danielle Arthur Podiatry became Revesby Family Podiatry.

The new name reflected what the practice had become. It was no longer just about me. It had become a team, a place where families felt at home, and a practice now caring for multiple generations of local families.

I'm incredibly grateful to everyone who has been part of that journey. A special mention to my Practice Manager, and best friend, Bek, who joined me in 2016. She keeps me accountable, keeps the practice running, and is an invaluable part of both my business and my life.

Looking around the clinic today, I realise that while buildings come and go, it's the people inside them who make them special.

And I couldn't be prouder of the team we've built together.

Becoming a mum...

One of the greatest joys of my life has been becoming a mum.

Catelyn arrived in 2013, followed by Ella in 2015. They changed my world in the very best way.

I also realised something about myself. While I absolutely loved being a mum, I also loved being a podiatrist. Owning my practice and the independence it gave me had become part of my identity, and I wasn't ready to give that up.

Running a small business meant maternity leave looked a little different. I took just 12 weeks off after each of the girls were born before returning to work. My ex-husband worked four days a week, I worked three, and the girls spent their early years at a wonderful family day care in Picnic Point.

I was incredibly fortunate to have wonderful podiatrists supporting the practice during those years. Hannah joined as maternity leave cover when Catelyn was born and stayed for several years before starting her own business. Tiffany covered my maternity leave with Ella, and more than a decade later she's still an important part of the practice.

Those early years weren't always easy. I experienced postnatal depression after Ella's birth, and balancing business ownership with raising two young children was one of the biggest challenges of my career.

Even today, as a single mum, there are days when the juggle feels very real.

But if there's one thing owning my own practice has given me, it's flexibility. I've been able to organise my work around school assemblies, sports carnivals, concerts and all the little moments that matter. Being there to cheer the girls on has always been worth it.

Looking back at this photo of them "helping" Mum at work, I can't help but smile. Those little girls have grown up alongside the practice, and watching them become the amazing young people they are today has been the greatest privilege of all.

Growing the practice...

After purchasing the second patient list in 2010 and finishing my home visits, I was able to focus entirely on the clinic.

Around this time, I also rebranded the practice as Danielle Arthur Podiatry, reflecting the transition from the small practice I had purchased to a business I was beginning to shape and grow as my own.

And it grew.

I was working five days a week, with patients booked from 8am until 6pm. At that stage I still only had access to one treatment room, and eventually reached the point where I simply couldn't fit everyone in.

One of the hardest lessons I had to learn as a business owner was that I couldn't keep saying yes to everyone.

For a period of time, I closed my books to new patients so I could prioritise the people who had already trusted me with their care. It wasn't an easy decision, but I felt strongly that existing patients should be able to access appointments when they needed them.

As the practice grew, so did everything that happened outside the treatment room.

I had some reception support, and Mum helped on reception whenever she could, but the daily administration, bookkeeping and responsibility for running the business still sat with me.

During these years, I also met and married my now ex-husband while trying to balance a growing business with my personal life and health.

Looking back, I think I came dangerously close to burnout. Those 8am to 6pm days were clinical hours. The paperwork, bookkeeping and administration happened around them.

At the time, though, I didn't really question it. I thought working harder was simply what you did when your business was growing.

It took a major change in my life, and the arrival of my first clinical employee, to make me start thinking differently about how I worked.

That change was becoming a mum.

Taking the leap...

By 2006, my home visit business was well established, I had experience working in both public health and private practice, and I had even worked as a receptionist in a podiatry practice for the final 18 months of university.

Despite all of that, I was blissfully unaware of what owning a business would actually involve.

During my early years working in Revesby, I'd formed a relationship with local podiatrist Tracey Crisford. Tracey regularly referred home visit patients to me, and I'd also done some locum work for her in the years after graduating.

2005 had been a tumultuous year personally. I'd purchased a home with my then fiancé, followed by the breakdown of that relationship later that year. So when Tracey called me around April 2006 and offered me the opportunity to buy her practice, I jumped at the chance for a new challenge and the opportunity to grow my career.

On 1 August 2006, I officially became a practice owner.

The clinic looked very different then. It was a single room subleased from Allen's Vision and Hearing on Marco Avenue (now Cincotta Chemist). Tracey had operated two days a week, while another podiatrist, Marsha, ran her own business from the same room on another two days.

Everything was on paper. An A4 appointment diary, handwritten receipts and paper patient files. A landline with an answering machine.

Very soon after taking ownership, I increased my clinic hours to three days a week while continuing home visits on the remaining days.

In 2010, I purchased Marsha's client list and passed my home visit service on to another podiatrist so I could concentrate solely on growing the clinic. Jenny still offers home visits in the area today.

Looking back, I had no business plan, no grand vision of what the practice would become, and very little idea of what I was getting myself into.

I just knew an opportunity had come along, and I was ready to take it.

Twenty years later, I'm very glad I did.

The early years... 2003 to 2006

After finishing university, I spent my early career working mainly in public health at War Memorial Hospital in Waverley and also at Bankstown-Lidcombe Hospital.

Working alongside experienced hospital podiatrists was instrumental in my education as a young clinician. University had given me the foundations, but these were the years when I really began learning how to be a podiatrist.

In February 2003, I also started offering home visits in the Revesby area, fitting patients in on my way home from my hospital jobs.

At the same time, I worked Fridays in private practice for Julie Harrison, who it was lovely to reconnect with recently. Working for Julie taught me so much about running a private practice, and I'm eternally grateful to have had the opportunity to work for her.

Slowly, the home visit service grew and I reduced my hospital hours.

At its busiest, I was seeing 18 to 20 home visit patients a day, often four or five patients every two hours. Most were older people who could no longer leave home for routine foot and nail care. Many were war veterans or war widows, reflecting the history of Revesby and its post-war housing.

My entire business ran from my car and a desk set up in my lounge room at home. My appointment book was a Filofax, my work phone was my mobile, and every piece of equipment I needed travelled with me.

Looking back, those years taught me an enormous amount about clinical care, hard work and the community I would eventually build my practice in.

By 2006, I was ready for the next step.

The university years...

In early 1999, fresh out of high school, I started my podiatry degree.

Over the next four years, I was lucky enough to learn from some of the best podiatrists of the time. They weren't only academics. They were clinicians, researchers, authors and conference speakers who were actively contributing to the profession.

They helped shape the podiatrist I wanted to become, and am still becoming today.

Some assessments came easily. Others were terrible.

In third year, I failed a clinical patient exam. I was absolutely horrified. Even worse, the question I failed was about something incredibly simple: the use of emollient to maintain healthy skin. Needless to say, I've never forgotten that lesson. More than 20 years later, it still forms part of the clinical education I give my own patients and students.

We finished our degree in November 2002 and graduated in April 2003.

Since then, I've been fortunate enough to work alongside some of the people who once taught me, both clinically and in education. And some of the friendships I made during those university years are friendships I still hold very dear today.

Looking at this photo, I had absolutely no idea where the next 23 years would take me.
