Recommended Student Time Commitment

Each 6-credit Postgraduate unit at CQUniversity requires an overall time commitment of an average of 12.5 hours of study per week, making a total of 150 hours for the unit.

Assessment Tasks

This is a graded unit: your overall grade will be calculated from the marks or grades for each assessment task, based on the relative weightings shown in the table above. You must obtain an overall mark for the unit of at least 50%, or an overall grade of ‘pass’ in order to pass the unit. If any ‘pass/fail’ tasks are shown in the table above they must also be completed successfully (‘pass’ grade). You must also meet any minimum mark requirements specified for a particular assessment task, as detailed in the ‘assessment task’ section (note that in some instances, the minimum mark for a task may be greater than 50%).

Feedback, Recommendations and Responses

Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.

On successful completion of this unit, you will be able to:

1. Critically evaluate and apply relevant legislation, worker compensation schemes, and ergonomic principles to optimise workplace health and return-to-work plans for injured workers, demonstrating a strong understating of return-to-work processes and the role of an accredited exercise physiologist
2. Critically analyse job tasks to identify risks and conduct comprehensive ergonomic assessments and functional capacity evaluations utilising appropriate tools and interpret findings to inform health promotion, work conditioning and/or return-to-work plans tailored to workplace needs
3. Demonstrate high-level clinical reasoning to create evidence-based exercise prescriptions with consideration to biopsychosocial factors and job tasks, for people with occupational-related health conditions, facilitating long-term health outcomes in the workplace and/or effective return-to-work plans.

Element 2.2.1: Integrate knowledge of anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology, and other determinants of health and function and apply these to inform safe and effective movement, physical activity, and exercise-based interventions for individuals and population groups throughout all stages of their life

Element 2.2.5: Evaluate research findings and apply exercise prescription principles to develop recommendations and interventions, including targeted exercise prescription for the purposes of optimising health status, function, recovery, independence, and participation

Element 2.2.6: Apply clinical, ethical, and evidence-based decision-making to formulate appropriate interventions and recommendations and communicate the expected outcomes

Element 2.2.7: Explain national, state, and compensable scheme frameworks across the health care, aged care, and disability sectors, and the requirements for AEPs working in these settings

Element 3.2.1: Formulate appropriate screening processes to evaluate and stratify risk for participation in assessments and interventions, including consideration of appropriate service modalities for clients

Element 3.2.2: Formulate safe, effective, and culturally sensitive assessments to collect relevant information, social and cultural determinants of health, client history, and client needs, preferences, barriers, facilitators, and goals

Element 3.2.3: Formulate appropriate assessments and outcome measures relevant to treatment and client goals, and evaluate health status, function, capacity, and progress, to inform clinical reasoning and to monitor the delivery and outcomes of interventions

Element 3.2.4: Distinguish, record, report, and appropriately action changing risk factors and adverse signs and symptoms that may arise before, during, and after assessments and interventions

Element 3.2.8: Choose and use relevant technology and equipment efficiently, effectively, and safely

Element 4.2.1: Formulate evidence-based exercise prescription, interventions, and recommendations that address health and treatment related client needs, preferences, goals, and abilities, assessment findings, and social and cultural determinants of health
