The neurological team leaders all have significant academic and clinical experience which has been recognised in teaching and professional association acknowledgements, awards, the dissemination of research findings at national and international industry-related conferences and in peer-reviewed publications. The focus of teaching is to engage students in the implementation of science and evidence-based physiotherapy strategies to optimise the motor performance of individuals who are affected by acute and chronic neurological conditions. Blended and flipped learning strategies have been incorporated into all the units in the neurological stream to facilitate the acquisition, application and assimilation of neurological rehabilitation skills. Students scaffold their learning through a supported self-directed process and to contextualise their learning into authentic 'real-life' clinical situations. The teaching team guides students to develop the skills to access and assess the available evidence and apply it to their clinical practice to ensure that they will always provide effective evidence-based rehabilitation.

The Faculty of Business and Law ‘Virtual Classroom’ postgraduate initiative, organised and taught by Dr Al Marshall, is a partnership with international university partners designed to provide rich and relevant learning experiences for postgraduate students. The rationale for this major curriculum development centres on enhancing students’ abilities to solve problems in a variety of settings, taking local and international perspectives into account, and providing opportunities to practice communicating/negotiating across cultural boundaries; building partnerships with international universities, particularly with our Catholic partners; strengthening the case for international accreditations such as EPAS; contributing to our rise in international rankings; and delivering on the mission of the university. The Virtual Classroom offers a resource efficient way to deliver a cross cultural learning experience for students who may not be able to afford a Study Abroad experience. The first Virtual Classroom Initiative was implemented in Semester 1, 2016, with Binus International University, in Jakarta, Indonesia. This led to a range of Virtual Classroom Projects: with Binus International University, in Indonesia, with the University of San Diego, in the United States, and with the Catholic University of America, also in the United States.
