Maximise your professional expertise and extend your knowledge and skills in rehabilitation. In this one-year, full-time (or equivalent part-time) course, students choose from two streams — coursework or coursework and research — to build specialist knowledge, skills, and technical capability across a range of health contexts.

With a focus on tropical, rural, remote and Indigenous communities, you will undertake core subjects and select one of four majors (outlined below).

Students enrolling in this course as a pathway to a PhD must complete the coursework/research stream. Graduates may be eligible for credit towards a Master of Rehabilitation.
