Hospital rotations, hydrotherapy and musculoskeletal or sports specialisation are the levers that move a new graduate up the band.
Is $100,000 a good salary in Perth?
It is exactly average for Perth, matching the city's $100,000 all-roles median, with take-home near $1,443 a week and moderate living costs. Five cities now pay the identical nominal figure, so Perth is competitive on take-home. It has recovered from being the weakest physiotherapy market in the country.
How much does a Senior Physiotherapist make in Perth?
