You’ll have the opportunity to participate in a series of full-time professional placements, where you’ll put your skills and knowledge into practice. You’ll learn alongside students and staff from the full range of clinical areas, preparing you to work across communities as part of a multidisciplinary team. Graduates of the Bachelor of Physiotherapy (Honours) are recognised by the Physiotherapy Board of Australia (PBA) and will be eligible to apply for registration through the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (Ahpra) to practice physiotherapy within Australia.
