What will I learn?

Prepare to register and practise as a physiotherapist. Physiotherapists work with people through the lifespan to develop, maintain and restore movement and functional ability. The physiotherapy profession has well-established research and evidence-based practice, which you will analyse and apply in this course. Our program has a strong clinical focus with teaching mainly embedded within clinical settings across South Australia and has close links with healthcare providers to best prepare you for professional practice as a physiotherapist. Emphasis is placed on preparing you to become a contemporary health professional who is able to work effectively across a range of settings, and in metropolitan or rural/remote locations. Physiotherapists work in a variety of settings across both public health and private practice. They remain in demand across the health sector and this outlook is projected to continue. Physiotherapists can also work in managerial and research positions, and opportunities exist to become self-employed in private practice or to work part-time.
