The Early Career Fellowship in Hand Therapy is a 52-week postgraduate program that provides specialised hand therapy training for early career physiotherapists and occupational therapists.

The program is designed to train early career therapists in the practical and pragmatic aspects of working in a primary contact position in private practice. The fellowship provides a structured program of readings, training videos, weekly tasks, mentoring support and tutorials and instils a solid foundation in diagnosis and treatment.

The program is delivered in partnership with the AHTA, the national peak body for hand therapy in Australia.

To participate in this program, individuals must be currently working alongside an experienced practitioner in hand therapy in a clinic or hospital that offers hand therapy.

The program currently runs intakes four times a year – in January, April, July and October.
