COURSE DESCRIPTION
This six-day intensive, evidence-based course targets clinicians who have undergone a Vestibular Rehabilitation Introductory course and are wanting to cement their practice in vestibular rehabilitation. Using a combination of lectures, practicums, simulated patients, live patient sessions and competency assessment, this course will provide the attendee with updated knowledge and clinical skills to improve their application of assessment, treatment and overall management of persons with dizziness and imbalance. This course is the only competency course in Australia that provides participants with patient interactions for translation of evidence into varied clinical models of delivery and the participants’ clinical skills.
With over 100 years of combined experience, our Australian-based Faculty teach and practice extensively within the fields of vestibular, neurological and geriatric physiotherapy. Each have advanced skills and education in the management of persons with vestibular conditions and are leaders in teaching and research. Our experienced faculty will be further complimented by Advanced Clinicians and Medical Specialists, with expertise in the management of people with dizziness and imbalance.

Vestibular Dysfunction and Management: Clinical Competency Course 2025
Two certificates are given in this course – one for attendance and one for achievement. It is our intent that the certificate of achievement signifies that, at the time the course was given, the student demonstrated proper performance of certain skills and understood basic information (based on written and practical examinations) related to vestibular rehabilitation. The granting of the achievement certificate in no way guarantees that the student retains those skills and knowledge or applies them appropriately in the future.
All participants must ensure they have current physiotherapy registration and be able to provide a certified copy (or AHPRA number) at the time of registration. Course participants must also hold current professional liability insurance and provide a certified copy at the time of registration. Failure to provide proof of registration and insurance will exclude you from the Course. Participants must also have had prior introductory level vestibular education to qualify for registration (we recommend the equivalent of 10 hours of education via a post-graduate course or as part of a university degree). Vestibular Education Australia maintains the right to request evidence of completion of an introductory vestibular course or greater than 10 hours formal education related to vestibular rehabilitation inclusive of university or online learning.
Vestibular Education Australia reserves the right to cancel the course and will not be responsible for any charges incurred by the registrant due to cancellation. A full course tuition refund will be issued if Vestibular Education Australia cancels the course.
