Meet the JS Podiatry Team

Tamsin Keevill obtained her Bachelor’s degree in Podiatry at Curtin University in 1998. She started her career as a podiatrist looking after the South West of WA before returning to Perth and joining the team at Royal Perth Hospital. While there she worked closely with the diabetes team and together helped to establish WA’s first multidisciplinary foot ulcer clinic, as well as setting up the Kalgoorlie Regional Hospital podiatry service.

Since then, she has practiced at SCGH working alongside the diabetes & vascular teams, as well as supervising students at the UWA Podiatric Medicine clinic, and most recently at RPH and Midland Hospitals.

Tamsin has a wealth of experience in all facets of podiatry including telehealth, nail surgery, paediatrics, skin & nail care, diabetic foot and vascular disease, common foot skin conditions, and managing sports injuries and assessing biomechanics.

When not working, Tamsin is a keen rower and ski paddler who can usually be found near the water.

She is married with two sons and has two dogs.

Shivani Parihar obtained her Doctor of Podiatric Medicine degree from UWA, alongside a Bachelor of Science in Pathology and Pharmacology. She started her career in Bunbury, serving the rural southwest communities by treating a wide range of foot and ankle issues, from ingrown toenails to complex biomechanical conditions and injuries.

Shivani collaborated closely with a foot and ankle surgeon, contributing to both pre-and post-operative care.

Her professional interests include pediatric care, biomechanics, sports rehabilitation, and chronic foot and ankle disease management. Currently, Shivani is completing her endorsement in scheduled medicine, which will allow her to administer steroid injections and prescribe medications as part of treatment plans.

In her free time, she enjoys staying fit through activities like badminton, squash, swimming, and hiking. Shivani is dedicated to helping others maintain strong foot and ankle health.

Mathew Millar graduated from the University of Western Australia, earning his Doctorate of Podiatric Medicine. He also holds undergraduate degrees in both Human Anatomy and Psychology.

As an avid soccer player, Mathew was first drawn to podiatry through his personal experiences with lower limb, ankle, and foot issues, all of which were effectively managed by his local podiatrist.

With a strong understanding of the importance of pain-free movement, Mathew combines evidence-based biomechanics and rehabilitation techniques to help his patients return to their active lifestyles, free from pain. His approach is focused on getting individuals back to performing at their best, whether for sports or daily activities.
