Proactive’s Graduate Programme

Proactive fosters an environment where we actively learn from each other’s specialities for the benefit of providing holistic care and quality outcomes for our clients. We recognise that everyone learns differently, so our Graduate Programme is flexible to your individual learning needs. We customise a programme of structured training, tailored modules, group and individual learning and expert mentoring designed to assist you to become the best clinician you can be.

Proactive offers a structured two-year clinical education programme for Physiotherapy graduates transitioning into their first year of clinical practice. Our Graduate Programme provides you with the opportunity to consolidate your learning and develop your clinical skills by working alongside our highly experienced interdisciplinary team of allied health and medical clinicians.

We get our graduates off to a great start with a comprehensive induction, expert mentoring, professional development, in-service education and access to clinical research and resources to develop your clinical competency.

Proactive also offers career pathways that allow you the opportunity for diversity in your practice. We will also support you with post graduate study to continue your learning and professional development.

Our Graduate programme is a two-year structured clinical education programme providing ongoing education, mentoring and practical learning opportunities.
