Mel Vello
Registered Osteopath
With a long-standing background in healthcare, Mel is passionate about supporting and empowering others to better understand their bodies and take an active role in recovery. Mel enjoys the variety that osteopathy offers and finds it especially rewarding to work with people to uncover the root cause of their concerns and achieve their individual goals.
Mel has a particular interest in working with people in mid to later life. She values the depth and complexity these patients bring and enjoys tailoring care to support their unique needs. She is also passionate about helping women manage the physical changes that often occur during menopause —focusing on strength, mobility, and long-term confidence.
Mel’s clinical experience includes treating:
- adults with work-related or postural complaints,
- older individuals managing chronic pain or reduced mobility, and
- young athletes with sports-related injuries.
Mel creates a calm, supportive treatment environment and is committed to collaborative, goal-driven care. In her treatments, she takes the time to listen, educate, and work collaboratively with you toward your goals. She values building trust and tailoring treatment plans to suit your lifestyle and preferences.
Mel completed a Bachelor of Science (Osteopathy) and Master of Health Science (Osteopathy) at Victoria University. She has over 350 hours of supervised clinical experience treating a wide range of musculoskeletal concerns across diverse age groups and backgrounds. Mel started as an Osteopath Intern with us and has now transitioned to a registered osteopath starting in August 2025.
Outside of osteopathy, Mel has worked as a pharmacy assistant, medical centre receptionist, PPE support staff in hospital COVID wards, and as a sports trainer for a local football clubs, including filling in for Box Hill North FC. These roles have strengthened her communication skills, adaptability, and empathy—qualities she brings into every patient interaction.
In her spare time, Mel enjoys going to the gym, playing squash, and exploring local motorsport and mountain biking events.
