The Australian Physiotherapy Association are holding another professional development night for physio students.
Topic: How to run your own private practice
Gain valuable insight & advice (that is not included in the curriculum) about how a private practice operates & how to run one. Not to be missed!
When: Tuesday 13th Oct. 7pm
Where: Western Lecture Theatre 2 (La Trobe Uni)
What do you think of when I say ‘Melbourne Uni’? Ralph Lauren Polo’s. Placement stealing. Gold bullion. Having to sit the UMAT. Engineering students using their degrees to build unnecessarily complicated beer bongs. Soy latte’s.
Well that may just be me (this author’s opinion doesn’t represent that of management- Ed.). But it’s fair to say there is no love lost, right? Okay, so you’re indifferent because you have never met anyone from Melbourne, let alone a MU physio student. Well try to fire up son/daughter!
Formally slated as a footy match, the PSA and MUPSS will be facing off in a winner takes all, best-of-three netball tournament at Melbourne Uni to decide who is the pre-eminant physio faculty in Victoria.
Having smashed MUPSS last year in both the footy match and the pub crawl, they want revenge. Sweet revenge. And after we denied their proposal of synchronised swimming, and our proposal of cage fighting was deemed ‘too exclusionary’, netball was agreed upon.
So get down to melbourne uni on Friday the 25th September. Bring your court shoes. Bring your figure hugging body suit. Bring some Ice Cold Beers/premixed lollywater. Bring your game face. This rivalry is stepping up a notch…
ps there will be a barbecue during the game and the famous PUB CRAWL afterwards.
Event: LTU-PSA Vs MUPSS Netball match
When: 3-5pm, 25th September
Where: Melbourne University Netball courts (in the middle of the Athletics track)
Vibe: Banter. Bring some refreshments, and be ready for the barbecue and pub crawl afterwards!
Hello PSA members! Its PD time again, and following on from the
wildly successful ACL lecture we have another exciting topic. Ramsay McMaster, renowned golf physiotherapist, will be giving his spin on

rehabilitation. This is an opportunity not to be missed! (even for
those who enjoy the 19th hole more than the preceeding 18)

Hands for Health, held on the 11th of march, was a complete success. Period.
The PSA raised $819.70 for the day, all of which will go to the Alfred burns unit and help the unfortunate bushfire victims of Black Saturday.
Congratulations to all those involved, and a big thank you to Kirby, Marty, Alex, Lachy and Luke who did a stellar job organising the event. Also, another thankyou to those who donated their time and magic hands to such a worthy cause. Finally, to those who received massages and donated; thankyou and come back next year!
Don’t forget that you can all still contribute to the cause by raising money at home/work by massaging friends and taking their details for a tax deduction (if they want). All forms and money to be collected before the 9th of April - speak to a PSA rep for more details or email us at admin@latrobepsa.com
