MyPhysio Career™
A structured pathway for physiotherapy professional development and career progression.
MyPhysio Career™ is Movement For Life Physiotherapy's structured professional development pathway for physiotherapists at different stages of their careers.
The program combines clinical mentoring, education, reflection and practical experience to help you build your knowledge, skills and confidence while developing towards your longer-term career goals.
Develop Your Skills. Shape Your Career.
Professional development designed around where you are and where you want to go.
Physiotherapists don't all learn in the same way or follow the same career path. MyPhysio Career™ provides a framework for professional development while allowing your learning to reflect your experience, clinical interests and career goals.
Your development can combine formal education with practical clinical experience, mentoring, peer learning, reflection and opportunities to apply your skills in different environments.
Whether you're an early-career physiotherapist building your foundations or an experienced clinician developing advanced skills, the pathway can be adapted to your stage of practice.
A Pathway for Every Stage of Your Career
Build from your current skills and keep progressing.
MyPhysio Career™ is designed to support physiotherapists throughout their professional development. Depending on your experience, existing skills and goals, you can enter the pathway at an appropriate stage rather than starting from the beginning.
Development may include strengthening core clinical skills, developing advanced knowledge in a chosen area, undertaking postgraduate study, working towards APA Titling or developing leadership and business capabilities.

Build More Than Clinical Skills
Professional development can take your career in many directions.
A physiotherapy career can extend well beyond day-to-day clinical practice. Depending on your interests, MyPhysio Career™ can provide opportunities to develop skills in leadership, education, research, business, communication and professional contribution.
You may have opportunities to contribute to in-house education, professional presentations, research activities, committees, community initiatives or other projects that support your development and the broader profession.
A Pathway Towards APA Titling
Develop the knowledge, skills and experience needed for your professional goals.
For physiotherapists working towards APA Titling, MyPhysio Career™ can provide a structured framework for ongoing development alongside the relevant postgraduate education, professional experience and requirements of the chosen pathway.
Our team can help you identify appropriate development opportunities and build a plan around your clinical interests and career goals.
