Ability Action Australia Physiotherapy
Graduate Program

Packed with support

Ability Action Australia will provide you with a well-rounded knowledge base that sets you up for success, while providing three dedicated layers of built-in supervision and mentorship to ensure you are supported as you learn.

Level 1: Clinical learning and understanding

Our Graduate Program is custom designed to build your capability and confidence as a clinician. Over the course of the year, the program will cover core clinical areas relevant to your discipline which will sharpen your broader skills and competence as a clinician. It will also provide you with experience across different streams of practice, so that you can find your areas of passion. You’ll build relationships with our clinical leads who will guide and mentor you in these areas, so you can build the perfect career progression pathway for you.

Level 2: Non-technical and case management skills

At the same time, we’ll work with you to develop your non-technical and soft skills. These skills are essential in developing professional language and behaviour, managing challenging workplace circumstances and having difficult conversations with participants or carers. You’ll take part in scenario-based learning, that you can put into practice as you begin to work with your first participants and their families.

Level 3: Professional and work coaching within your cohort

When you join Ability Action Australia, you’ll be part of a cohort of new graduates supporting each other and navigating exciting new territories. This level of supervision works within your cohort and helps you to develop the professional skills you need to successfully manage your day-to-day activities, and your time, so you can grow into a competent clinician with the ability to develop and successfully manage a caseload that is rewarding and challenging.

Packed with development

Our Graduate Program is a 12 month program designed to accelerate your learning and development within a nurturing and supportive environment.  You will be provided with constant opportunities to learn through workshops and short courses, and embed this knowledge through supervision and drop-in discussion forums. Professional development and learning opportunities are also available through the MedHealth Academy.
