About Physiotherapy (Honours)

The Bachelor of Physiotherapy (Honours) provides students with the knowledge and skills to practice as a physiotherapist, and to pursue a career in education and research. It is a four year program offered in an internal mode at Rockhampton campus.

Physiotherapy is a healthcare profession concerned with human function and movement, and physiotherapists use a range of methods in their work, including exercise, manual techniques, education and advice. Physiotherapists provide evidence-based interventions that engage the participation of people of all ages in addressing their health needs, with a strong focus on preventing injuries and promoting health and wellbeing. Empowerment of the individual and self-management are at the core of the profession.

 

Students will develop knowledge and skills in the assessment, treatment and management of a range of conditions, for people of all ages.

 

The program includes a large amount of practical experience, through both university-based courses and through clinical education placements in a range of clinical settings.
