Women's Health Training - Intermediate
​
Women's Pelvic Health
Level 2
OVERVIEW
The current WHTA Women's Pelvic Health Level 2 Training Program is provided in partnership with the Australian Physiotherapy Association. Whilst all of the content was written and produced by WHTA, it is administratively run and endorsed by the Australian Physiotherapy Association, re-assuring you that your level 2 training is formally recognised by Australia's national physiotherapy membership association.
The Level 2 training program consists of 18hours pre-recorded online lectures that provides all the theoretical knowledge required for level 2, followed by a 2.5 day Face-to-Face practical skills course that teaches internal vaginal and rectal examinations.
​
IMPORTANT NOTE
The Level 2 online theory lectures (but not the face-to-face) are pre-requisite for many of WHTA's Advanced Level 3 Courses. Overseas physiotherapists can therefore complete the online lectures without completing the Face-to-Face and still be eligible to enroll in Level 3 courses.
​
PRE-REQUISITE TO ENROL IN LEVEL 2
