Passionate about physical health and wellbeing? Looking for a rewarding career helping people to feel their best? With a proud history spanning two decades, the Bachelor of Physiotherapy from Charles Sturt University has a reputation for producing highly sought-after graduates who have gone on to launch successful physiotherapy careers in Australia and overseas.

Physiotherapists help to maintain or restore movement and function in people who are affected by injury, illness or disability. As experts in movement, they play a key role in promoting health, independence and quality of life for people of all ages.

You won’t just learn physiotherapy, you will live it

You’ll gain hands-on experience through extensive workplace learning, making you job-ready when you graduate. You’ll work with clients of all ages from diverse backgrounds and you may even have the opportunity to work at an orphanage in Vietnam in your fourth year of study.

Dedicated teachers

Our physiotherapy staff contribute to the Australian Physiotherapy Association (APA) National Professional Standards Panel and APA’s national groups, the National Allied Health Conference, Services for Australian Rural and Remote Allied Health (SARRAH) and the Paediatric Active Enhanced Disease Surveillance (PAEDS) network.

Quality facilities

We work in partnership with communities to provide allied health education and research. Facilities designed to simulate clinical environments found in real workplaces include a musculoskeletal clinic, hospital ward, rehabilitation gym, movement laboratory, on-campus clinics, skills laboratories and simulation facilities. Our Bachelor of Physiotherapy is fully accredited with the national accrediting body, The Australian Physiotherapy Council.

Graduate with Honours

If you achieve a grade point average of 5.0 or above across your first and second year subjects, you’ll be eligible to apply for transfer to the Honours stream. If selected, you’ll complete specific Honours subjects that replace standard subjects and develop your organisational, research and writing skills.
