•(1) Radiology clinics
•a. currently performing plain musculoskeletal x-rays
•b. 1 or more radiologist agreeing to be involved;
•c. current public liability insurance
•d. able to use reporting templates for knee x-rays.
•Where radiology franchises operate across several local government areas, the franchise will be approached to determine if each location uses a centralised reporting system and radiologist (e.g. one reporting radiologist across all sites). For practices that use a centralised reporting template/radiologist, only the clinics located in the largest clinic-cluster area will be considered for inclusion. If not, then all radiology clinics belonging to that franchise will be eligible for inclusion.

•f. is ambulatory (with or without the assistance of gait aids).
•g. radiologically confirmed knee OA in any knee compartment
•h. ability to participate in an email or telephone follow-up

•People with knee OA:
•x-ray referral as a direct result of knee trauma;

•referral for imaging from any medical specialists
•compensable knee injury;
•suspected musculoskeletal, cardiovascular or other pathology preventing activity-based interventions (e.g., chronic or terminal lung condition or malignancies);
