The School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences, comprises four disciplines of the health professions:
~ Audiology ~ Occupational Therapy ~ Physiotherapy ~ Speech Pathology
Students studying in this School benefit from the long tradition of high achievement in teaching and research. Our programs in Physiotherapy have been offered since 1938; Occupational Therapy has been offered since 1955 while Speech Pathology has been offered since 1962 and Audiology since 1971. All programs promote a strong focus on scientific endeavours and high quality outcomes.
The School offers a highly successful range of undergraduate and postgraduate programs, and since 2000 has introduced Graduate Entry Masters programs in Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy and Speech Pathology, which provide an alternate entry point to these professions for students who possess a previous degree. Audiology education has always been offered at the postgraduate level only.
The School is a national and international leader in research and scholarship in the rehabilitation professions. A number of research collaborations, including two Centres of Clinical Research Excellence and a number of research centres and units, have been developed to strengthen the School's research capacity and translation of research into practice.
