When Brett isn't in the clinic caring for clients he can be found at the beach with Nippers, at the soccer fields, or learning new dance moves from his daughter at dance class. In between this, Brett enjoys challenging and pushing himself with strength training, chasing the white ball around the golf course and the small things in life like a good coffee and friends.

He has a strong interest in caring for kids and babies and as such he regularly attends paediatric seminars to further his knowledge with current evidence based practices.
