Faculty of Health Sciences

The Faculty of Health Sciences is the largest health sciences faculty in Australia consisting of ten disciplines, six research groups and two research centres. We provide professional preparation programs for a comprehensive range of health science professionals, as well as generic degrees in health science.

The pioneering work conducted by our research teams has an enormous impact on the health and quality of life of our community; from increasing mobility and functional independence for spinal cord and stroke patients, to developing the world’s first evidence-based stuttering treatment for pre-school children, a therapy now used throughout the world.
