You know what they say: it takes teamwork to make the dream work. And at Innovation Podiatry, our dream is to provide the highest level of lower limb care to our patients. To achieve this, we’ve put together a highly skilled, hard-working team.

Melissa Ward
Practice Manager, Medical
Melissa has been with Innovation Podiatry since 2014. She successfully completed her Certificate III in Business Administration and when you don’t see her big beaming smile around the office, she will be outside enjoying the sunshine, having fun at the beach with her beautiful family.
Nisha Charles
Podiatrist
Nisha graduated from Southern Cross University in 2023 and is currently working full-time as a podiatrist. She enjoys treating a diverse range of patients and has a special interest in paediatric care, biomechanical foot conditions, and managing ingrown toenails (IGTN) – a treatment she’s become particularly confident in.
Nisha is also trained in dry needling and offers this as part of her holistic approach to managing musculoskeletal and biomechanical concerns. She is passionate about providing personalised, compassionate care to help her patients move and feel their best.
Outside of the clinic, Nisha enjoys catching up with her friends and family, exploring new cafes (especially those with a good matcha), and keeping active through Pilates and gym sessions.
