Physiotherapy students require the maturity and capacity to manage their own emotions and behaviour effectively when working with people in educational and practice settings, including in situations that can be challenging, unpredictable and stressful. Physiotherapy students are required to be physically examined by their peers in mixed-gender practical classes, and to interact with and physically examine their peers and clients (of all ages, genders, linguistic and cultural backgrounds) in teaching and clinical \/ hospital environments. With consent, students will be required to remove layers of clothing, which may include to the level of their underwear, when practicing physiotherapy assessment and treatment techniques on each other for learning purposes. Students will be required to administer physiotherapy treatment to clients in teaching and clinical settings who, with consent, will also remove layers of their clothing. The ability to effectively detect, interpret and apply verbal and non-verbal communication are fundamental to physiotherapy practice. For example, displaying appropriate facial expressions, gestures and eye contact, while being mindful of space and time boundaries, promotes the development of rapport and trust in academic and professional relationships. The ability to observe and interpret verbal and non-verbal cues is essential for safe and effective assessment and treatment of clients in healthcare settings. Interactions with clients also need to be respectful, culturally sensitive, clear, accurate, attentive, empathetic, and non-judgemental. Being sensitive to individual differences displays respect and empathy to others and develops trusting relationships.<\/p><p>Physiotherapy students also need to receive and maintain an agreed schedule of vaccinations to meet the requirements of clinical placement providers in various healthcare settings \u2013 students must attend clinical placements in a variety of healthcare settings to fulfill the course requirements.<\/p><p><strong>Physiotherapy Board of Australia Code of Conduct: https:\/\/www.physiotherapyboard.gov.au\/Codes-Guidelines\/Code-of-conduct.aspx Physiotherapy Practice Thresholds: https:\/\/www.physiotherapyboard.gov.au\/documents\/default.aspx?record=WD15%2f16750&amp;dbid=AP&amp;chksum=LWuk27uBUFj5MTUort6Qug%3d%3d<br \/><\/strong><\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"ds-accordion\"> <h4> <button id=\"check-core-participation-req-1\" class=\"ds-accordion__trigger\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"core-participation-req-1\"> <span class=\"ds-accordion__title\">Cognition<\/span> <\/button> <\/h4> <div id=\"core-participation-req-1\" class=\"ds-accordion__content\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"check-core-participation-req-1\"><p><em><strong>Core requirement<\/strong><\/em><br \/><br \/>Students must be able to locate, acquire, retain and apply knowledge as part of their learning and for assessment.

It also includes appropriately applying knowledge of theory, research evidence, policies and procedures in the class and practice settings. Literacy skills are required to: convey spoken and written messages accurately and effectively in learning and practice settings; paraphrase, summarise and reference in accordance with appropriate academic conventions in written assignments. Additionally, effective written communication is required to ensure written and electronic clinical documentation meets professional and medico-legal requirements. Competent application of numeracy skills is essential in physiotherapy to facilitate the safe and effective delivery of care. Examples include accurately measuring and recording physiological characteristics in client notes; completing accurate arithmetic calculations of outcome measures; prescribing adaptive equipment that correctly meets client measurement requirements e.g. wheelchair or gait aid prescription.<\/p><p>Physiotherapy service delivery requires sufficient physical and mental endurance and resilience to effectively perform detailed and\/or multiple tasks over sustained and repeated periods, independently and autonomously. Sustained concentration and alertness is required to ensure consistently effective and safe implementation and monitoring of physiotherapy practice. Examples include: participating in face-to-face and virtual lectures, tutorials and practical classes; remain in an upright position for sustained periods of time in practical classes and clinical settings; provide consistent physiotherapy service delivery for the required number of hours while completing clinical placements. <\/p><p><strong>Physiotherapy Practice Thresholds: https:\/\/www.physiotherapyboard.gov.au\/documents\/default.aspx?record=WD15%2f16750&amp;dbid=AP&amp;chksum=LWuk27uBUFj5MTUort6Qug%3d%3d<\/strong><\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"ds-accordion\"> <h4> <button id=\"check-core-participation-req-2\" class=\"ds-accordion__trigger\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"core-participation-req-2\"> <span class=\"ds-accordion__title\">Sensory (visual, auditory, tactile, olfaction)<\/span> <\/button> <\/h4> <div id=\"core-participation-req-2\" class=\"ds-accordion__content\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"check-core-participation-req-2\"><p><em><strong>Core requirement<\/strong><\/em><br \/><br \/>Students should possess the ability to interact with visual, auditory or tactile inputs sufficiently to manage their learning environment and to meet professional performance needs.<br \/><br \/><em><strong>Course-specific requirement<\/strong><\/em><\/p><p>Physiotherapy students require sufficient visual acuity to demonstrate the required range of skills, tasks and assessments to maintain consistent, accurate and safe care to self and others.

Sufficient auditory ability is necessary to monitor, assess and manage individual health needs consistently and accurately. Auditory assessments and observations are fundamental to safe and effective physiotherapy practice, with examples including: listening to normal and abnormal breathing and heart sounds through a stethoscope; detecting emergency cues such as buzzers, alarms, public address announcements, or calls for help; accurately monitoring a client's verbal and non-verbal responses during assessment and treatment such as expressions of pain or verbal feedback. Sufficient tactile ability is necessary to monitor, assess and detect clients' physical characteristics and act on any abnormalities detected to provide appropriate physiotherapy management. Tactile assessments and treatments are fundamental to safe and effective physiotherapy practice, with examples including: palpating and manipulating precise anatomical structures including joints, muscles, soft tissues, and pulses to detect and correct abnormalities. <\/p><p><strong>Physiotherapy Practice Thresholds: https:\/\/www.physiotherapyboard.gov.au\/documents\/default.aspx?record=WD15%2f16750&amp;dbid=AP&amp;chksum=LWuk27uBUFj5MTUort6Qug%3d%3d<\/strong><\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"ds-accordion\"> <h4> <button id=\"check-core-participation-req-3\" class=\"ds-accordion__trigger\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"core-participation-req-3\"> <span class=\"ds-accordion__title\">Strength and mobility<\/span> <\/button> <\/h4> <div id=\"core-participation-req-3\" class=\"ds-accordion__content\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"check-core-participation-req-3\"><p><em><strong>Core requirement<\/strong><\/em><br \/><br \/>Gross motor skills: Students should possess the strength, range of motion, coordination and mobility sufficient to manage their learning environment and ultimately, professional performance needs.<br \/><br \/>Fine motor skills: Students should possess the manual dexterity and fine motor skills sufficient to manage their learning environment and ultimately, professional performance needs.<br \/><br \/><em><strong>Course-specific requirement<\/strong><\/em><br \/>Physiotherapy students require sufficient gross and fine motor skills to provide effective healthcare over sustained periods of time.
