    About

    Bond University’s innovative approach to physiotherapy education ensures you are work-ready, competent, and confident to practice in a wide range of settings including hospitals, community clinics and private practices.

    Bond’s Doctor of Physiotherapy program is renowned for its unique blend of problem-based scientific learning, practical application, and more clinical hours than any other physiotherapy degree in Australia!

    You will graduate equipped with the fundamental physiotherapy knowledge, critical skills, and professional behaviours and attitudes required to examine, diagnose, and treat clients across the lifespan by learning from an integrated curriculum of clinical and related basic sciences.

    Immerse yourself in clinical experiential learning, with clinical placements included in the core subject listing, and a further internship offered as an elective. Placements are sought in a variety of settings across the full spectrum of clinical areas including orthopaedics, cardiorespiratory, musculoskeletal, neurological, ortho-geriatric, rehabilitation, chronic disease, disability, occupational, and sports practice.

    Your classes will primarily be delivered at the Bond Institute of Health and Sport, where you will have access to advanced facilities and equipment. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to undertake innovative and clinical research projects.
