Serving Western Australia

Curtin educates the majority of allied health professionals in Western Australia. Most nurses, midwives, pharmacists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, dietitians, social workers and speech pathologists in WA are Curtin graduates.

A key reason for Curtin's popularity in this field is our revolutionary approach to education, which allows undergraduates to benefit from close links with our research departments and industry partners - as exemplified by developments such as CHIRI - as well as gain practical experience working with the community.

High calibre students know that they will enjoy the advantage of teaching by research staff of the highest quality, and relish the opportunity to learn from some of the best in the field.

Our community on-campus clinics - in dental hygiene, physiotherapy and more - give students the opportunity to use their newly-learned skills in a supportive environment, where they can benefit from the latest techniques developed by our own research teams.

These clinics, also used by researchers to find cohorts for clinical research, provide an exceptional learning opportunity for students.
