Amen sister. I miss my massage therapist in Seattle terribly, and finding a new one here in Edmonton is a bit like going on a bizarre series of blind dates. And now that I have my Alberta Health card, I'm about to embark on checking out a referral for a new TMJ specialist. Fun.

Per my over-long post above, they are not unheard of in North America, but their presence & ability to practice may depend on what state you are in, as I understand it.

ETA: just noticed that the OP is in Australia. Have NO idea about osteos down under.
