Upskill your career in health and make a difference to those with musculoskeletal, neurological, cardiac, respiratory or cognitive conditions.
The ageing population and growing chronic disease epidemic across the world is causing a demand for greater rehabilitation services both nationally and internationally.
As technology improves, people are being diagnosed earlier, and we are providing more effective treatments, meaning people are living longer with more complex presentations.
Boost your knowledge and career and develop creative interventions, including cutting-edge technology to change the lives of people with a variety of conditions.

“
Completing the Graduate Certificate in Clinical Rehabilitation was a transformative experience that deepened my understanding of rehabilitation principles and their application to contemporary practice. The course’s flexible structure allowed me to balance study with professional commitments, supported by an engaged network of lecturers and course coordinators who fostered both academic and clinical growth. The program’s emphasis on multidisciplinary teamwork, critical thinking, and research has been invaluable in enhancing my clinical reasoning and advancing my practice. I highly recommend this pathway to health professionals seeking to elevate their rehabilitation knowledge while maintaining work-study balance.

The Master of Clinical Rehabilitation (Neurological Physiotherapy) and Master of Clinical Rehabilitation (Occupational Therapy) each have a 2-week intensive placement which occurs in Adelaide. Otherwise our programs can be completed fully online.
There is one option topic available that involves 2 days per week of work integrated learning in the workplace, in Adelaide. However, this topic is most suited to students who are wishing to upskill their knowledge of the Australian rehabilitation system.
It is recommended that students set aside 10 hours per week for each 4.5 unit of study. This includes face-to-face classes, pre-reading and assessments. If you enrol into 18.0 units, which is considered a full-time study load, you would expect to commit 40 hours per week to your university studies.
As you progress through the course students can find that their availability or commitment to their studies changes. Students have the option to apply for an early exit once they have met the requirements for a Graduate Certificate or Graduate Diploma of Clinical Rehabilitation.
