Vision

To offer physiotherapy graduates a comprehensive and accelerated learning course to permit them to bridge the gap between what has been learnt in their undergraduate or post graduate training, and what is required by their clients in clinical practice.

To offer Advanced Practitioner Workshops for experienced practitioners to learn new ideas they can implement immediately and to build a network for practitioners to share clinical and business ideas to enable them to offer the highest calibre of service and expertise possible in private practice.

Background

An independent structured, accelerated learning program does not currently exist for new graduates in NSW who choose to work in private practice.  There are certain large health organisations in other States in Australia that do offer accelerated learning programs, but the Physiotherapist is encouraged to stay within this specific organisation.

For experienced Physiotherapists who have been in practice for over 5 years, there have been no ongoing structured workshops available.  A regular inservice of independent private practice practitioners will provide the opportunity for experienced graduates to upskill, connect with other practitioners and, therefore, offer an even higher calibre of expertise to their clients.

Workshops that exist currently are often of one or two days duration. These are not possible for many practitioners to attend, specifically practitioners who have a priority on weekends of family commitments.

It is the intention, goal and vision of the Physiotherapy Coaching Academy Australia to bridge this gap between university level training and clinical work for new graduates.

It is also a goal to provide ongoing practical and clinical training, to ensure experienced clinicians are up to date with both clinical and business related issues; so they can integrate this information into their practice.

We therefore provide learning in a variety of formats, from Wednesday workshops to DVD's and Downloads.
