The Bachelor of Applied Movement Sciences/Master of Physiotherapy and Master of Physiotherapy are registered with AHPRA . Students who complete these courses are eligible to apply to practice as Physiotherapists in Australia. Students in AHPRA registered courses must meet and maintain certain standards referred to as a student’s “Fitness to Practice”.

On commencement and throughout their studies at Victoria University, students in AHPRA registered courses are required to acknowledge and provide information about their fitness to practice as set out in this form. Part of a student’s “Fitness to Practice” is being ready to undertake compulsory clinical placements. Clinical venues require Victoria University to confirm that all students have met the compulsory immunisations and clearances. These are referred to as pre-placement requirements.

Once studies have commenced, students will be advised of the deadlines to complete both the Fitness to Practice form acknowledgement and pre-placement requirements. Failure to meet these deadlines will result in students being delayed in their progress and/or not being able to complete their course.
