Australia Day Honour for SA podiatrist
South Australian podiatrist Geraldine Treloar has been awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia for service to the podiatry profession. 
Mrs Treloar has had a remarkable career, including providing exceptional service to the Chiropody Board of SA over a period of 31 years from 1970 to 2001. She contributed to the process of development and subsequent review of National Standards and National Guidelines in infection control, particularly in relation to office based practices in the community setting. Mrs Treloar was one of a small group responsible for the initial development and growth of the professional association in South Australia and as a national body in Australia in the 1960’s. The SA Association and APodC would like to congratulate Life Member Mrs Treloar on her remarkable achievement.
