Education
Clinical education linked to real-world older-adult care
Student learning, graduate development, educator capability and partnership pathways connected with care across clinic, home and community settings.
For students, graduate physiotherapists, educators, universities, clinical leaders and service-linked research or training collaborators.
Learning that strengthens capability and care
Education is most useful when it connects clear learning goals with appropriate supervision, real care environments and accountable review.
Current pathway
Student exposure and clinical placements
Students and university partners can enquire about supervised learning connected to older-adult care. Availability depends on discipline, timing, supervision capacity and suitable learning opportunities.

Graduate physiotherapy development
The approved two-year GPY1–GPY2 program combines a named supervisor, staged caseload, capability reviews, case discussion and a consistent Learning Pod.
View the graduate programSupervision, case discussion and educator development
The structure depends on the approved program, placement or partnership rather than one universal model.
Supervision and case discussion
Within approved learning pathways, supervision, observation, case review and feedback help connect clinical reasoning with day-to-day practice.
Educator development
Clinicians who supervise learners need clear expectations, practical support and opportunities to strengthen how feedback and capability decisions are made.
Learning Pods
Learning Pods are part of Clinics GRP's organisation-wide clinical development model, and every clinician participates in a pod. The graduate physiotherapy program has its own detailed Learning Pod structure.
Partnerships connect learning with service
Enquiries are considered against the purpose of the collaboration, supervision capacity and fit with current services.
- University relationships connected to student supervision and structured learning
- Education and training collaborations relevant to older-adult care
- Partnership discussions that connect academic learning with real service environments
Careful participation, not an automatic commitment
Potential activity is assessed before it is described as operating or available.
- Research-linked activity considered against an agreed scope and appropriate approvals
- Audit and quality-improvement opportunities connected to practical care questions
- Learning from feedback, review and shared clinical standards
