If you are creatively or technically-minded and enjoy working with people, consider a career in prosthetics and orthotics. This program is the first and only program in Queensland that allows you to specialise in this area. Prosthetists and orthotists work with people who have amputations, musculoskeletal weaknesses, or neurological conditions, throughout the varied process of treatment.
In this program you will gain specialist training in an increasingly advanced and dynamic area of health. You’ll learn to provide innovative, compassionate, and client-centred care to help address the functional
limitations of people, resulting from illness, disease, or disability. You’ll develop skills, through study and clinical placements, to enter the profession and help break down barriers for people living with disability.
