The Clinic’s three main principles are:

• Outreach to the community. The Clinic offers all services to the staff and students of the University of Canberra, but also the wider Canberra community.
• Provide an interdisciplinary approach. The Clinic offers services in nutrition and dietetics, exercise physiology, physiotherapy and psychology. These professions are postgraduate qualifications a student can obtain through studying at the University of Canberra.
• To promote excellence in teaching and learning. The Clinic is staffed by highly qualified private practitioners who provide additional placement opportunities for University of Canberra students studying nutrition and dietetics, physiotherapy, psychology and exercise physiology.
