What in the world is Human Factors Engineering?
Tell me more
Join us for an engaging APA professional development session led by Rob King, Principal of
Coretex Consulting and a highly regarded Human Factors Engineering specialist. Drawing on
extensive experience across major and critical infrastructure projects, Rob will provide practical
insight into the application of human factors within complex, high-risk environments.
This session is tailored for occupational health physiotherapists who are increasingly intersecting
with human factors principles in their work. While many clinicians have foundational exposure to
ergonomics, Rob will clarify the distinction between occupational physiotherapy, human factors
and human factors engineering as a discrete professional discipline. He will also outline the depth
of knowledge, methodologies, and scope of practice required to operate at an expert level in this
field.
Please feel free to join us for our SA OHP committee Xmas gathering immediately following the session.

Occupational Health Physiotherapy Level 1
The Occupational Health Physiotherapy Level 1 course will broaden your scope of practice through delivering the latest knowledge and skills to match contemporary practice and its evidence-based underpinnings. Participants will be challenged to consider the foundations on which their decisions are made in order to future-proof their Occupational Health practice.
The course will deepen your understanding of the importance of workplace safety systems, leadership, the climate of safety and the risk management process as applied to health promotion, and injury prevention. Key population health issues in most workplaces including chronic diseases in addition to mental health disorders and musculoskeletal disorders are outlined. Practical skills are cemented through in-depth musculoskeletal tasks risk assessments, good work design ergonomic scenarios, and office equipment evaluation and application.
Social culture, inclusivity, and workplace leadership are incorporated so participants can implement effective and equitable occupational health workplace strategies and, through nuanced communication skills, are able to lead positive workplace conversations and manage difficult conversations with stakeholders.
Optimal Return to Work pathways and barriers are identified and workshopped for common and complex scenarios using the most recent evidence-based screening, assessment and communication tools and processes.
The principles of good work design are integrated with the physical, cognitive and organisational components of human factors/ergonomics into office and onsite ergonomic scenario analysis.
A range of training formats including video analysis, group discussions, ergonomic equipment demonstration and practical sessions throughout the two days course strengthens occupational health skills across the seven modules – Legislation, Risk Management, Systems of work, Leadership and Safety Climate and a Culture of Safety, Communication, Ergonomics, and Injury management.

Dry Needling Physiotherapy Level 1 - Part B
Tell me more
Physiotherapists are increasingly using dry needling for pain management and thereby improving function in conjunction with other physiotherapy approaches. This structured course meets the national APA and AHPRA recommendations for physiotherapists to practice dry needling safely for musculoskeletal conditions and sports injuries.
The sound knowledge of indications and contraindications for dry needling requires appropriate assessment and treatment skills. This course is designed to provide physiotherapists an opportunity to improve knowledge and skills of dry needling, and make them aware of guidelines for safe dry needling practices in a range of musculoskeletal conditions.
The Dry Needling Physiotherapy Level 1 course consists of two separate parts:
- Part A consists of seven recorded lectures and is self-paced online learning. On completion of Part A, participants will have a good knowledge of the theory, research and safety considerations of dry needling. Part A is a pre-requisite for the Part B face-to-face practical course. It is also valuable as refresher training or CPD.
- Part B face to face, practical course. This course will assume the knowledge gained from Part A. Through group discussion, presentations and a written theory evaluation during the practical, this course will ensure participants can safely needle a range of body areas and conditions.
A visual representation of the structure of this course can be found in this diagram.
