OUR APPROACH

World-class kinesiology courses

As Western Australia’s leading kinesiology training college, O’Neill Kinesiology College is recognised for its top-tier education, guided by highly skilled and experienced teachers.

We are proud to be a premier institution, delivering cutting-edge kinesiology training that sets students up for success in an exciting and growing field.

Our story

For over 25 years, O’Neill Kinesiology College has been a leader in kinesiology education in Western Australia. Founded by Nicolie O’Neill and assisted by her daughter Tania O’Neill McGowan, the college was built on a shared passion for delivering high-quality, integrated training.

Nicolie’s dedication to kinesiology has shaped the college’s reputation, and her early commitment to learning from key industry leaders led to the creation of Western Australia’s only nationally accredited Diploma of Kinesiology and Advanced Diploma of Functional Kinesiology, offering students a comprehensive learning experience.

In collaboration with Tania O’Neill McGowan and Dr. Charles Krebs, Nicolie developed a program that combines cutting-edge knowledge with real-world application. With over 22 years of combined experience, Nicolie and Tania have created a curriculum that continues to set O’Neill Kinesiology College apart.

O’Neill Kinesiology College remains the only Registered Training Organisation (RTO) in Western Australia offering two levels of accredited Kinesiology qualifications. With the addition of an advanced graduates program, O’Neill Kinesiology College continues to lead the industry and provide supervised and flexible learning to support all current and future Kinesiologists.

Our college, our vision

At O’Neill Kinesiology College, our vision is for every student to experience the life-changing benefits of kinesiology and feel confident in pursuing a rewarding career.

We are dedicated to equipping students with the knowledge and practical skills needed to support the health and vitality of others, empowering them to make a real difference in their communities.
