This course is designed for those who are commencing work in or returning to work in neurological physiotherapy or recent graduates who would like to consolidate their knowledge about neurological physiotherapy. The online modules cover; the principles of neuroplasticity, motor learning and task and context specific practice, the relative contributions of impairments to activity limitations after stroke and a clinical reasoning approach that applies this knowledge to the analysis of movement problems and intervention planning, and principles for maximising engagement in and amounts of practice in rehabilitation. The face-to-face content covers the tasks of bed mobility, sitting, sit to stand, standing, walking and arm function. For each of these activities, video case studies are used to guide discussions of movement analysis and relevant outcome measures and evidence-based intervention, practical sessions will be used to enforce the principles of effective set-up of training for these tasks.
Sue Mayes has led the medical team of The Australian Ballet for over 20 years and recently finished her PhD on hip joint health in professional ballet dancers. The Australian Ballet have developed a successful approach to managing and preventing hip joint injury that has resulted in no lost-time hip joint injuries in the past 5 years and no hip joint surgery for more than 10 years. The ´hip joint in dance' course will provide a review of the current hip joint research and its application to clinical decision making and management of hip joint pain in dancers. This practical workshop will demonstrate hip joint assessment and treatment techniques and participants will learn hip exercises and exercise progressions that could be applied to any individual with hip joint pain.
This 2 day practical workshop will provide clinicians with a comprehensive understanding of the impact of limited mobility and gravity on body shape distortion, and the importance of timely postural care, specifically therapeutic supported lying. This course is suitable for clinicians of all levels of capability who work with children and adults with physical disability.
Clinicians will gain an understanding of who would benefit from therapeutic supported lying, why timely education and implementation is important, understand the research and theory of key therapeutic supported lying practices and be able to apply the key principles to their clients – from a preventative, maintenance and improvement perspective. Additional aspects such as risk assessment (covering topics such as pressure, thermal comfort, pain…) and individualising practices will be covered. Demonstration and practical opportunities will be provided throughout the workshop.
This course aims to provide physiotherapists with an opportunity to improve their knowledge and skills relevant to physiotherapy assessment and treatment of common conditions of older people. It takes an indepth look at the ageing process, chronic disease management, pharmacology and pain management, delirium, dementia and depression, falls and balance, strategies to optimise physical function and use of outcome measures.
This course is a mandatory component of the experiential titling pathway in Gerontological Physiotherapy.
This course is also available as an wholly virtual delivery. More details of delivery methods found here .

Foot and ankle injuries are common in athletes and dancers. Yet physiotherapists often state that they don't feel confident treating the foot.
This course has a strong focus on hands on skills and exercise prescription, giving you tools that can be applied to athletes and general population with foot and ankle pain. Improve your knowledge, skills and confidence in the assessment and treatment of common injuries to the athletic ankle and foot.
Including a review of the anatomy of the foot and ankle, by the end of the course participants should be able to:
