History

AIOT started back in the mid 1990’s with Ron James as the founding President. Other founding members are Anne McArthy, Glenn Brown, Rod Lukey, Naomi Stanton and John Kinealy.

The association grew quietly as the foundations were set. A meeting took place in Melbourne which was sponsored by Smith&Nephew, where the key personnel from each state gathered. The plan from that meeting did not eventuate, and AOTA evolved out differing opinions.

Today the AIOT is stronger than ever, and is gathering more members each month. As technicians realize the importance of the Certificate IV in Cast Technology, so will they realize that the AIOT is behind it. The AIOT will be there for existing and future Orthopaedic casting professionals.
