Doctor of Physiotherapy

Program Overview

The Doctor of Physiotherapy program offers an innovative problem- and case-based learning model of physiotherapy education to prepare entry-level physiotherapists for their roles and responsibilities as first-contact practitioners. The program integrates the clinical, pathological, and related basic sciences with the physiotherapy knowledge, skills, and professional behaviours and attitudes required to examine, diagnose and treat physiotherapy clients. The Doctor of Physiotherapy assists students to progressively develop and apply their knowledge, skills, and professional attitudes and behaviours to undertake physiotherapy practice and places a strong emphasis on clinical experiential learning with up to 1400 hours of learning in a clinical environment. Clinical practice experiences are designed to produce work-ready, entry-level graduates who are competent to practice across the lifespan in a range of environments and settings.

Variable experiences across the lifespan are sought in a range of clinical settings. These will include acute care (such as general cardiorespiratory and orthopaedics), inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation, and musculoskeletal outpatients (such as hospital outpatients or private practice). Students may also have the opportunity to experience a diverse clinical setting in line with their interests, such as paediatrics, women’s/men’s health, specialist acute care services, sports, and rural, remote, or international placements, dependent on placement availability.
