The Australian Pedorthic Medical Grade Footwear Association (APMGFA) announced at the AGM on 20th September 2013 that it was to change its name to Pedorthic Association of Australia (PAA). In a unanimous decision of the members at the AGM, the new name was accepted.

Ernie Tye, the president of the association explained "APMGFA has outgrown itself and this change of name is more than a reduction in letters. It’s symbolic of the end of a period of life in this profession and the beginning of a far more mature profession."

"The bachelor of Clinical Science- Pedorthics at SCU is just one of the outward signs of that maturity."

"We acknowledge the vision of Professor Ian Graham and others here at SCU for seeing the role that Pedorthics plays in the Foot Health Team. A role that is as important as any member of the Foot health team in keeping people walking, running, jumping from first walkers to sports to mid-lifers to the elderly, with pathologies far ranging."
