Master of Physiotherapy (Graduate Entry)

What you'll learn
Our Master of Physiotherapy will teach you how to assess, treat and prevent health conditions throughout the different stages of life. The curriculum covers many different areas of practice, including musculoskeletal, rehabilitation, acute care, paediatrics, and community practice.
From your first day, you'll start thinking like a physiotherapist. Early courses focus on evidence-based practice, clinical reasoning, critical thinking, professional practices and basic injury management in a musculoskeletal context.
Then you’ll challenge your understanding of the mechanisms and management of pain – and cover the theory, assessment and management of acute care and rehabilitation conditions.

A central component of this degree is clinical placements, which commence in your second year of study. ?

Through your placements you will develop clinical competence across different settings, including in rehabilitation, paediatrics, aged care, disability, and musculoskeletal physiotherapy.

You’ll develop the skills to work in the prevention and management of disability and illness, both in workplace and community settings, and as a member of a multidisciplinary healthcare team. This holistic view of a patient’s health recovery is crucial, as different age groups have different care needs.

To practice professionally after completing this program, you'll need to register with the Physiotherapy Board of Australia. Given your degree involves patient and public interaction – such as field and clinical placements – you must also demonstrate you meet mandatory pre-placement conditional requirements. These include a criminal history clearance, child related employment clearance and broad and strict immunisation requirements.
