Clare graduated from the University of Notre Dame in 2012 with a double degree in Physiotherapy and Exercise and Sports Science as one of the first cohort to complete it. She went straight into private practice where she has since treated an array of conditions. She has developed an interest in load management to prevent and rehabilitate injuries.

She is currently at the WACA as the Senior Academy Physiotherapist. She has previously been the Head Physiotherapist for the Womens Western Force and the Rehabilitation Physiotherapist for the Perth Football Club WAFL team.

She has worked with the Junior Boys and Girls 7s teams who represented WA in the annual National tournament with the girls team finishing with a Bronze medal. She has also worked with the gold medal winning U18s and U20s WA Mens state basketball teams.

Other Rugby Union team affiliations include the U/15 and U/16 State Junior Boys teams, U/18 Schoolboys, WA Senior Sevens teams and the UWA AON Womens Sevens team. She has worked with the U/16 State Basketball Metro Boys team in 2016 (Bronze medal) & 2017 and this came off the back of her role as Physiotherapist for the Lady Hawks in the Women’s State Basketball League for the 2016 season. She has previously been involved with the Western Force from 2012-2015.
