For those considering Physiotherapy as an alternative career to medicine/dentistry, this is the page that'll list all UNDERGRADUATE accredited courses (Australian Programs) that'll allow you to practice as a Physiotherapist in a very digestible table much like Med schools Selection Criteria Y12s & Non-standards AND UPDATED Dentistry Schools Selection Criteria Y12s & Non-standards. (Link: Accredited Physiotherapy Programs - AHPRA & National Boards).
If there is anything missing/incorrect about the following table, please let me know!(Also there's nothing on non-standard entry well because... there's simply nothing online to go off.)
Edit 2023 Entry Information: UNSW are also adding their own physiotherapy program which starts intaking students as of 2023. I am waiting for AHPRA for their approval before adding to the list.
