Master of Physiotherapy

Why study the Master of Physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy is a highly regarded profession and demand for physiotherapists is strong. Physiotherapists work in private practice, aged care settings, private and public hospitals, workplaces, community based agencies, schools, rehabilitation centres and chronic health management clinics. Patients range across the life span, from birth to athletes and the elderly.

The Masters program is designed for graduates of health science and related disciplines seeking to enter the physiotherapy profession. The two year program covers the theory and practice of physiotherapy, practical experience in the field and specialised areas to develop the professional competencies important for ethical and safe practice, high quality care and the skills to work in multidisciplinary teams. Evidence-based practice is one of the most important trends in healthcare today and a strong feature of the program.
