Overview

Through these, where you will learn, reflect, apply and refine your knowledge and skill in the physiotherapy assessment and intervention, ethical and professional practice, communication, evidence based practice, interprofessional teamwork, reflective practice and lifelong learning, quality improvement and leadership and management.

This course also offers unique community engagement and First Nations perspectives, as well as rural and remote health. You will graduate with skills and knowledge to be a physiotherapist who is culturally responsive and well-equipped to meet the needs of communities across northern Australia.

You will study on campus and gain practical, job-ready experience through four 5-week blocks of full-time clinical placements. There are unique placement opportunities in the Northern Territory's regional, rural and remote areas and all placements are supported by CDU academics and registered Physiotherapy professionals.

In the first two years of this double degree students are introduced to health concepts and constructs within the Bachelor of Health Science units that will lay a foundation for their clinical practice. In the third year students are introduced to physiotherapy focused teaching and learning and students will engage in some clinical placements. In the final year students will further develop their physiotherapy skills and knowledge applying these to theoretical and clinical units.
