To train as a physiotherapist in Australia, someone typically has to complete one of the following: a four-year bachelor's degree in physiotherapy (potentially with the final year being treated as an honours year); a master's degree by coursework in physiotherapy; or an extended master's degree in physiotherapy (called a Doctor of Physiotherapy). Australian National University, Deakin University, Edith Cowan University, Murdoch University, Queensland University of Technology, Southern Cross University, Torrens University Australia, University of New England, University of the Sunshine Coast, University of Western Australia and the University of Wollongong do not offer any entry-level physiotherapy qualifications.
