Having migrated from South Africa in 2001, Adila began her degree in podiatry in 2002, also finding her life partner and starting a family around the same time.

Graduating in 2007, Adila started Aadila Dada Podiatry, initially as a locum for Queensland Health, then moving to private practice after working under a much-respected podiatrist in South Brisbane.

After a career break, Aadila has returned to the healthcare industry, establishing a reputable podiatry practice specialising in aged care & diabetic management.
