About Us
Our story.
Wenban Chiropractic Consultants was born out of a genuine desire to uplift and support the Chiropractic profession. After more than four decades in practice, Dr. Rob Wenban saw troubling patterns emerging among new practitioners. Many young Chiropractors were entering the field feeling unprepared and unsupported, often faced with complex cases they weren’t trained to handle and burdened by a lack of ethical mentorship.
The turning point came when Dr. Wenban and his wife, Joely, saw an online post from a young Chiropractor describing her experience with burnout and disillusionment. Within hours, hundreds more Chiropractors voiced similar struggles—stories of exhaustion, unethical coaching, and the feeling of being adrift in a profession they once loved. Together Rob and Joely committed to filling the gap in ethical, skill-focused support that so many desperately needed.
Since that moment, Wenban Chiropractic Consultants has been dedicated to providing advanced diagnostic training, ethical practice management, and compassionate mentorship for Chiropractors who want to build meaningful, lasting careers. We are here to guide practitioners on a path that’s both professionally rewarding and aligned with the highest standards of integrity.
Our values.
Our core values guide everything we do:
- Integrity: We prioritize honesty and ethical practices in every aspect of our work, ensuring our clients receive transparent, reliable advice.
- Excellence: With over 43 years of experience, we are committed to the highest standards of clinical expertise and professional development.
- Compassion: We approach mentorship with genuine care, listening to the unique challenges faced by each practitioner and supporting them wholeheartedly.
- Sustainability: We help Chiropractors build sustainable, rewarding practices that avoid burnout and promote long-term success.
Through these values, we provide Chiropractors with the tools to build not just a successful practice but a meaningful and principled career.
Our team.
With 43 years of clinical experience behind him, Dr Wenban built a busy, yet stress-free practice around a framework of honesty and clinical excellence. He has earned an international reputation for his knowledge, professionalism, thoroughness and genuine care for his patients.
Generations of families have been seeing Dr Wenban throughout this time. Some traveling from as far away as UK, USA, NZ, China and Russia to seek his advice and treatment. They helped to create a broad and loyal patient base built on mutual trust, which was the genesis of a very successful business.
Dr Wenban has extensive experience in the diagnosis and management of some of the most difficult cases. He worked in close collaboration with leading Orthopaedic Surgeons, Neurosurgeons, Sports Physicians, GPs and Specialist Physiotherapists.
He has extensive experience in MRI and other radiographic interpretation, specifically related to complex and intractable cases.
Dr Wenban graduated from ICC/PIT/RMIT in 1980 with a Dip.App.Sc. (Human Biology), B.App.Sc. (Chiropractic), Diplomat of the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners. (USA)
He was on the Clinical Advisory Board of Activator Methods International. He was also a Senior Clinical Instructor, where he was responsible for training AMCT Instructors as well as those seeking an Advanced Rating in AMCT.
In 1995 he was awarded a Master of Enterprise Innovation from Swinburne University of Technology, taking every award for academic excellence in the process. This degree was the equivalent of an MBA for those wishing to start and grow a business.
He is a former Associate Fellow of the Australian Institute of Management, Member of the Institute on Management Consultants, and Fellow of the Australian Institute of Company Directors.
Dr Wenban has now retired from active practice and is happy to share his clinical and business knowledge in his role as a Chiropractic Clinical Consultant.
Joely graduated from Monash University in 1989 with a B.App.Sc. (Nursing). This was followed by fifteen years in the Aviation sector where she was responsible for the safety for around 280 people, often dealing with life changing crises.
After joining our clinic she was responsible for the general day-to-day running of a very busy practice, where her boundlessly glowing nature put every patient instantly at ease regardless of the severity of their presenting issue.
Joely began as a patient but then spent 17 years as a CA; so there’s very little that she hasn’t seen or been directly involved with, from both sides of the desk.
Her genuine interest in people means that she was able to glean information that was vital to the ongoing treatment of patients in a holistic manner, thus leading to better outcomes than would have been otherwise achieved.
She’s able to provide a view of the patient experience more closely aligned with what the patient actually experiences than that which the Doctor thinks the patient receives.
