Pete has been servicing the needs of the amputees and people with limb deficiencies for over 30 years. As the leading Prosthetist in the region, he has strong relationships with Allied Health Care professionals. He has an excellent reputation for service excellence and product quality.

He is a keen sportsman who loves to surf, swim and ski as often as possible. He is always looking for new solutions to enable his clients to get back into their sporting and lifestyle choices. One of his highlights includes accompanying Marty Mayberry at the 2010 Winter Paralympics in Vancouver where Marty achieved a silver medal in the downhill event.

Imogen joined the team in 2016 after working at the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital in Queensland and Caulfield Hospital in Victoria. With over 10 years’ clinical experience in prosthetics, she is passionate about working closely with clients to achieve the best outcome for each individual.

Imogen finds her role extremely rewarding, enjoying the time spent getting to know her clients and their families and being able to provide well fitting, functional and good-looking prosthetic solutions to facilitate their goals and aspirations. She has always appreciated the ‘messy’ side of the job, working with plaster and manufacturing sockets, this being a big draw card for her to study prosthetics and orthotics at LaTrobe University all those years ago.

Imogen is a keen surfer and all-round beach attendee. She likes working on her veggie patch and cooking, but most of all she loves spending time with her family and friends. Having welcomed her son into the world in 2020, she is currently working on finding the elusive ‘balance’ between work and parenthood.

Lauren graduated from La Trobe University with a Bachelor of Prosthetics and Orthotics in 2009 and completed a Master of Public Health in 2022. She has a background in paediatric and adult orthotic management, and is excited to be increasing her prosthetic case load.

Lauren has taught in tertiary programs at La Trobe University and the Tanzanian Training Centre for Orthopaedic Technologists. She has held management, advocacy and advisory positions in Malawi and the Philippines and is passionate about developing the field of prosthetics and orthotics, and ensuring access to high quality services for people in regional and remote areas.

She enjoys spending her spare time in, on and under the water.

Virginia joined the team in 2020 with a degree from LaTrobe and extensive prosthetic and orthotic experience working in Wollongong and the UK.  She loves to get the best outcomes for her clients, seeing them exceed their own expectations.

Outside of work, she enjoys playing soccer and exploring the regions hiking trails.

Erin joined the team in 2017 when she moved back to her home town of Coffs Harbour and set up our workshop on the Coffs Coast. Erin started her P & O journey while on a sporting scholarship in the USA where she completed an Undergraduate in Biomedical Engineering with a focus in prosthetics. She then returned to Australia to continue her education and graduated from Latrobe University with a Masters in Clinical Prosthetics and Orthotics in 2013. Erin gained experience in Sydney and brings all that knowledge with her as well as the attitude to continually improve client outcomes and experiences.

It was Erin’s interest in the outdoors, particularly surfing, that first enticed her back to her home town. But it was high in the Nepalese mountains volunteering for Prosthetics without Borders, that NP owner Peter Farrand enlisted her to set up Coffs Harbour’s first local Prosthetics and Orthotics workshop under the Northern Prosthetics banner.

Erin thrives on being part of the tight knit community and being able to provide a professional specialist service to the region she grew up in. After moving away from the city, she understands the need to balance lifestyle and work commitments so if you can’t find her in the workshop, have a look in the waves.
