There is an imperative at each discipline level and at the university level to graduate students who are culturally capable and responsive. The curricula in social work, physiotherapy, occupational therapy and speech pathology are guided by national professional accreditation standards that require students to graduate with the capacity to be culturally capable and responsive. The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Curriculum Framework (2015) provides clear guidance on ways to develop and implement culturally appropriate curricula in line with discipline-specific accreditation standards and recommends the appointment of an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Curriculum and Pedagogy Coordinator to provide governance and expertise in this process.

The National School of Allied Health is located on six of the university's campuses: Brisbane, Strathfield, North Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne and Ballarat and is responsible for delivery of programs in four professional disciplines: Occupational Therapy, Speech Pathology, Physiotherapy and Social Work/Human Services.
