Matt Tindall
Clinic Owner + Clinic Manager
In 2001, Matt completed his Bachelor of Applied Science (Physiotherapy) at the University of Sydney. He started out his career at Bankstown Hospital, where he loved the patients and staff so much, he stayed for over 20 years!
While working at Bankstown, in 2011, Matt completed a Diploma of Management. For 9 years he managed a team of over 50 physiotherapists, then joined the hospital executive as Director of Allied Health and was responsible for managing over 150 allied health staff.
Matt opened Physio Inq Menai in 2023. Matt’s business mantra is ‘change lives.’ Employees have the power to change the lives of each person they treat, and at the same time, he aims to change the lives of his staff, ensuring they achieve a work-life balance and get what they want out of work.
In his younger days, Matt represented Sydney in cricket and taught kids’ karate while making his way through university. He currently enjoys bushwalking with his wife, and daughter, and road cycling.
