Helping the homeless Addressing the challenges faced by Adelaide’s homeless is a complex issue that inspires passion, particularly for UniSA lecturer and researcher, Dr Katia Ferrar.
On any given night, more than 5,000 South Australians experience homelessness, and they experience unique barriers when it comes to accessing health services.
In partnership with The Salvation Army, Dr Ferrar spearheaded the development and launch of UniSA’s Open Door Health Clinic, a facility offering pro bono physiotherapy and podiatry services to the homeless and people in crisis.
While working to improve health and wellbeing outcomes for at risk community members, the Clinic also delivers rewarding learning experiences for students, who work under the supervision of qualified clinical educators.
Students are able to develop an increased sense of social justice, become more adaptable in the delivery of health care services, and are exposed to the realities of communities in need.
Dr Ferrar is highly celebrated and has been recognised as the AMP Tomorrow Maker 2016, Winnovation Awards finalist 2017 and Unsung Hero of Science finalist 2018.
REAL-WORLD EXPERIENCE Develop your skills and professional networks beyond the classroom. We partner with elite sporting teams, hospitals and community-based
organisations, including the Calvary Wakefield Hospital, Adelaide United Football Club, SA Metropolitan Fire Service, and Helping Hand Aged Care to
bring you practical, hands-on experience through a range of scholarships and placements. We also have unique collaborations with organisations like The Repat Foundation – The Road Home, which provide placement and learning opportunities for students across different health disciplines. Through this
partnership, students use the power of sport to support wounded, injured and sick service personnel through our global-first Invictus Pathways Program.
FLYING HIGH We have partnered with the Adelaide Football Club to provide opportunities
for student placements and research collaborations. Students can apply their learnings in exercise and sport science in an elite sporting environment
working alongside AFL sports scientists and high performance coaches. There are also opportunities to engage in sports research focusing on
optimal player performance and injury prevention.
UNIQUE DEGREES We offer South Australia’s only degrees in pharmacy, pharmaceutical science and
medical radiation science (medical imaging, radiation therapy and nuclear medicine). We also have the state’s only fully-accredited undergraduate degrees in podiatry,
physiotherapy, exercise and sport science, occupational therapy and clinical exercise physiology. You can also enrol in one of our unique double degrees, combining
disciplines such as human movement with psychological science or nutrition and food sciences for a competitive edge in the growing health and wellness industry.

Dr Tahnee Dening is enjoying national attention following a discovery made while completing her studies and research at UniSA. Investigating the oral absorption of drugs in the body, she noticed that the clay materials she was using were attracting fat droplets and soaking them under mimicked gut conditions.
“This behaviour immediately signalled we could be onto something significant – potentially a cure for obesity.”
Tahnee’s research career has taken her around the world, from Denmark to Belgium, and now to the United States.
“You don’t have to be on the frontline of health care to help patients. I love knowing that my research could contribute towards smarter and more effective medicines.”

to go on site visits to Golden North ice cream,
Ingham’s, National Foods, and the West End Brewery,
as well as complete a work placement at Rymill Winery in the Coonawarra. Through these experiences

independently and pushed me beyond my comfort
zone when treating a patient. My placement at West Adelaide Football Club gave me first-hand
experience managing players with acute injuries and
providing rehabilitation for them so they can return to play as soon, and safe, as
