Congratulations to Anthony Lewis who was recently awarded the School of Allied Health, Human Services and Sport Alumni Award for Podiatry.
The award acknowledges his career as a highly respected podiatrist, social entrepreneur and community advocate whose career has been defined by a commitment to health equity and social justice.
Since graduating from La Trobe University with a Bachelor of Podiatry in 2000, Anthony has dedicated more than two decades to improving the lives of people experiencing disadvantage through innovative approaches to foot health care and community service.
He is the founder and current Chief Executive Officer of Footscape, a nationally recognised Australian charity established to improve foot health outcomes for vulnerable and disadvantaged communities.
"I am truly humbled to be recognised by La Trobe University in this manner," says Anthony.
"I love Podiatry. I love observing how access to essential and rightful Podiatry services contributes towards addressing health inequity, delivering social justice and fostering empowerment for individuals."
"I’m fortunate to have had my studies and approach supported at La Trobe."
