Aims

The overall aims of the course are to:

  • prepare physiotherapy graduates who are principled leaders in professional physiotherapy practice. Graduates will practice across a range of settings, health systems and communities, and connect with people, their culture and local environment. They will be professionally engaged with colleagues and other health care professions. Emphasis will be placed on developing contemporary health professionals who are reflective and responsive critical thinkers and effective communicators. The course aims have been developed to ensure that graduates meet the Australian Standards for Physiotherapy (Australian Physiotherapy Council).)
