Ms Liz Pridham

I joined the School of Physiotherapy in 2001. Prior to this I had worked primarily in services for children with developmental delay or disabilty and their families. I have also been involved in developing project submissions and working as a project officer to develop resources and improve service provision in the area of childhood disability.

My primary teaching is in relation to child development and physiotherapy with children. This is integrated into a number of courses within the Undergraduate and Graduate Entry Physiotherapy Programs.

• Child Development
• Paediatric Physiotherapy
• Community Health
• Clinical Education
