Lucas Deer

Lucas is one of our podiatrists with a background and passion for exercise and health, with personal experience competing in high level sports.

Lucas has had a passion for exercise and health from a young age, shaped by a diverse background in competitive sports. From an early start, Lucas competed in swimming, surf lifesaving, and cross country, with an early memory of completing their first marathon in a pram with a Border Collie attached. As a teenager, Lucas became particularly drawn to triathlons, training hard and achieving great success in short-distance events. At 18, Lucas was given the opportunity to compete on the world stage in long-course 70.3 triathlons, winning World Champion titles for their age group in both Denmark and Spain.

After stepping back from competitive athletics, Lucas embarked on a journey into tertiary studies. Lucas has had the privilege of contributing to several research projects alongside esteemed researchers, further expanding their knowledge and expertise in the field.

Outside of work and study, Lucas continues to maintain a strong connection with the outdoors, enjoying fishing and walking their beloved Border Collie, Badger. With a lifelong love of health, fitness, and an unwavering commitment to helping others, Lucas is dedicated to combining their athletic background and academic pursuits to support the well-being of others in their podiatric practice.
