Bachelor of Physiotherapy

Physiotherapists work to prevent injury and disability and to rehabilitate those already injured; they work with people experiencing problems with their cardiorespiratory, musculoskeletal or neurological systems. The Bachelor of Physiotherapy will equip students with the necessary skills to optimise movement and function, helping people overcome movement disorders, either present at birth or associated with ageing or life-changing events. Students undertake clinical placements throughout the program, starting in year one. Fourth-year students undertake four to six placements of five weeks' duration, encompassing a range of clinical physiotherapy areas including musculoskeletal outpatients, neurology and cardiorespiratory plus a selection of specialised and/or elective areas. An embedded honours program is available from third year for high-achieving students. For more course information, visit Bachelor of Physiotherapy at ACU’
