Career Opportunities

All Australian Physiotherapy Registration Boards recognise the Bachelor of Physiotherapy for professional registration as a physiotherapist. Physiotherapy also provides its graduates with opportunities for an international career. Our course prepares graduates for careers in health care settings such as hospitals, outpatients clinics, private practice, rehabilitation centres, patients' homes, schools, extended care facilities, sports venues, aged care centres, industrial and commercial premises, nursing homes, psychiatric centres and educational institutions. Physiotherapists also work with community organisations and as consultants to industry, government bodies and as academics and researchers.

The graduates from all cohorts since 1994 have gained employment early in the year following completion of the degree. Many physiotherapists travel and work overseas as part of their career development. More than 50 per cent of the first graduating classes have gained registration and employment overseas, largely in the United Kingdom and the USA but also elsewhere.
