HLT43015 Certificate IV in Allied Health Assistance (Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy)

Is it your dream to work towards a career in Occupational Therapy OR Physiotherapy?
An occupational therapist’s job role is to help people of all ages overcome the effects of disability caused by illness, ageing or accident so that they can carry out everyday tasks or occupations. An occupational therapist will consider all the patient’s needs – physical, psychological, social and environmental.
Physiotherapy is the treatment of injury, disease and disorders through physical methods — such as exercise, massage, manipulation and other treatments — over medication and surgery.
Studying this course will give you the qualifications required to work as an Allied Health Assistant, working alongside allied health professionals. This course is also your pathway to many diplomas that can give you credits towards a University degree and your dream career.
