NHPPS3215 Orthopaedics and Sports

This unit will further build on student's knowledge in relation to musculoskeletal assessment and intervention by expanding their skills towards orthopaedic and sporting presentations. Students will be expected to apply evidence based research, safety considerations and, where appropriate, explore the medico-legal implications of techniques within the sporting realm. The unit is intended to give students the foundation practical abilities to work within the professional sporting realm by exposing them to up-to-date assessment and treatment methods while reiterating and exploring the ideas of team-based therapy and critical thinking to a range of clinical scenarios.

Commonwealth supported place (CSP)

A CSP is subsidised by the Australian Government and students pay a contribution amount. Each unit is classified into a band, depending on the study area of the unit (this discipline may be different from the study area of your course).

2026 contribution amount* $1,192
2026 grandfathered contribution amount^ $1,192

^ If you are a continuing student who commenced your course before 1 January 2021, you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented, for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.

* For Psychology and Social Work bands the unit fee amount is determined by accredited courses. Students in Postgraduate Clinical Psychology, Professional Pathway Psychology or Professional Pathway Social Work accredited courses should refer to the information below.

A domestic full fee–paying place is one that isn’t subsidised by the Australian Government. These places are offered to postgraduate students or those who are ineligible for a CSP. Domestic postgraduate tuition fees are course-based annual fees, which means individual unit fees vary according to the degree.
