“I enjoy everything about studying at UQ.

University of Queensland teachers remain the nation’s most awarded, with a leading physiotherapy educator named 2025 Australian University Teacher of the Year.
Associate Professor Roma Forbes from UQ’s School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences was recognised at the Australian Awards for University Teaching (AAUT) for her impact on teaching practice, curriculum innovation and policy.
Five other UQ teachers also received awards, bringing UQ’s total awards to 179 since the awards began in 1997.
Dr Forbes’s work has influenced how health professional programs prepare graduates for contemporary healthcare, informing curriculum design, professional standards and workforce development across Australia.
“Coming from a background where higher education wasn’t the norm, my teaching and leadership has been shaped by both my clinical experience and lived experience navigating complex healthcare systems,” Dr Forbes said.
“This award recognises the collective work of many collaborators, educators, students, clinicians and industry partners who are committed to strengthening how we prepare our future health workforce.”
