Master of Physiotherapy (Pelvic Health)

Throughout the Master of Physiotherapy (Pelvic Health), you will deepen your knowledge and skills in this key area of physiotherapy and be ready to apply them to your clinical practice.

Course content is internationally relevant and is mapped to the Australian Physiotherapy Association’s career pathway competencies for Titling, which is on the pathway to Specialisation in Women’s, Men’s and Pelvic Health. You will examine the latest evidence and innovations in the discipline and understand how these can guide your clinical decision-making.

The program will challenge and extend your clinical knowledge and you will increase your understanding of the assessment and treatment of conditions across the lifespan, inclusive of paediatrics, adolescent, young and older adults. You will also further build on your knowledge of anatomy, physiology, diagnosis, management as well as complex case management.

This blended program includes both campus-based subjects that are taught in intensive face-to-face mode and fully online subjects. This course is tailored to the needs of currently practising professionals and will allow you to study part time while applying your learning to your clinical practice.

The flexible course structure enables you to personalise your degree by selecting from a wide range of elective subjects that are most relevant to your areas of interest and career goals.
