About us
The Faculty of Health at the P站视频 educates health and sport professionals and researchers to be leaders in their fields.
We teach in fourteen study areas: Nursing, Midwifery, Sport and Exercise Science, Physiotherapy, Nutrition and Dietetics, Pharmacy, Public Health, Psychology, Counselling, Medical Radiation Science, Occupational Therapy, Optometry, Speech Pathology and Social Work. Our courses are a blend of theory and practical application to real world settings, and our graduates are highly sought-after.
Our research has a significant impact on the health and wellbeing of people living in the Canberra region, Australia and abroad through the work of our institutes and centres: Research Institute for Sport and Exercise Science (RISE), Health Research Institute (HRI), P站视频 Centre for Ageing Research and Translation (CARAT), and Nursing and Midwifery Research Centre – SYNERGY, a partnership between P站视频 and ACT Health.
Our P站视频 Health Clinics, integrating healthcare with education, provides real world educational opportunities for students while offering affordable, high quality allied health services for the Canberra community. The P站视频 Hospital, the largest purpose-built rehabilitation centre in the ACT, houses a state-of-the-art clinical and practical teaching space for students in collaboration with Canberra Health Services.
P站视频’s evolving sports neighbourhood is home to the ACT Brumbies, P站视频 Capitals and world-class sporting facilities for students and staff.
We regularly engage with our local community by raising awareness of health issues and supporting the Health professional community through professional short courses.
In 2023, we are in the top 10 ranked Australian Health Faculties (Times Higher Education rankings).
