There are different types of medical doctors and healthcare practitioners in Australia. These professionals abide by national laws, standards, and rules of conduct. 

Every year, a large number of these doctors register with the national board and complete the necessary professional development requirements.

Let's look at some of the most common kinds of doctors you might come across:

1. Allied health professional

The term "allied health" is relatively new, and there is no widely agreed definition of allied health professions. Instead, many government agencies, health-care providers, insurers, and educational institutions designate numerous jobs as 'allied health.'

Non-medical, dental, and nursing practitioners are examples of allied health professionals. They are university-trained practitioners who specialise in the diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of illnesses and diseases. 

Chiropractors and physiotherapists are two examples of allied health practitioners. Torticollis is one condition that a chiropractor may treat. This is a disorder in which the muscles in your neck spasm. It is also known as 'wry neck.'

Torticollis symptoms may include the following:

• stiffness and pain
• torticollis might make it a challenge for you to move or straighten your neck or head
• torticollis might lead you to tilt your head forward or to one side compulsively.

2. Anaesthesiologists

These doctors will give you pain relievers or sedate you during surgery, delivery, or other procedures. While you're under anaesthesia, they monitor your vital signs.

3. Cardiologists

Cardiologists are heart and blood vascular doctors. If you have heart issues or concerns, high blood pressure, or an irregular pulse, a cardiologist may be consulted.

​​These types of doctors have the knowledge and skills to treat any health issues you may have throughout your life. These doctors are able to provide care that is tailored to your individual needs.
