title: Clinical physiotherapy specialisation in Australia: some current views.
abstract: Clinical specialisation in physiotherapy has a history extending over 20 years. The first specialist fellowships in Australia were awarded by the Australian College of Physiotherapists in 1983. In order to gain some insight into current views of specialisation, a questionnaire was circulated to members of the profession as an insertion in the Australian Journal of Physiotherapy. This paper presents a discussion of the issue of specialisation as a career option and reports the views expressed by respondents to the survey.
