Rank or ATAR? Which number counts

About studying physiotherapy & occupational therapy

This area covers physiotherapy, occupational therapy and related rehabilitation practice. Degrees include substantial supervised clinical placement, and each profession has its own accredited degree and registration.

This describes the field in general, not this course. Check the university's page for what this course covers.

Getting into physiotherapy & occupational therapy courses

Selection is primarily ATAR-based, and physiotherapy in particular is among the most competitive courses at many universities. Units 3 and 4 English is the usual prerequisite. These courses carry substantial supervised placement, so expect a police check, a working with children check and immunisation requirements before you can start.

This describes the field in general, not this course. Check the university's page for what this course covers.

These are the lowest rank and the lowest ATAR that got an offer in 2026, not a cut-off or a guarantee. Next year's depends on how many places there are and who applies. How ATARs really work · Didn't get the ATAR you needed?
