Radiation therapy is one of the main treatment options for patients with cancer and contributes to the high cancer cure rates in Australia. Radiation therapists combine knowledge of the physical and biomedical sciences to design and verify appropriate treatment plans.

You'll spend approximately 50 weeks in supervised clinical practice equipping you with current, work-ready skills.

This clinical practice takes place in each year of the degree. You will gain experience in a range of clinical settings including large public teaching hospitals, small private practices, as well as metropolitan and rural centres.
