You’ll gain high-level knowledge and skills in:

  • rehabilitation from short- and long-term injury, musculoskeletal and neurological conditions, chronic illness, disability and mental health issues
  • specialised practice with children and families
  • broad public health issues and population approaches to health and wellbeing
  • cultural diversity, with a focus on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and communities, and rural or international health perspectives
  • evidence-based, patient-centred care.

In addition, you’ll benefit from collaborative learning with key complementary disciplines, speech pathology and physiotherapy.
