Dilshan graduated from La Trobe University with a bachelor’s degree in Health Sciences and a Masters in Physiotherapy Practice in 2016. Since graduating he has worked in the Aged Care Industry initially as the sole physiotherapist providing services to a 90-bed aged care facility before eventually progressing to team leading a team of four physiotherapists and oversee the care services provided for a 180-bed facility. In his 6 years of experience as an Aged Care physiotherapist, he has developed strong clinical skills including general rehabilitation to maintain and improve patient’s mobility, falls prevention, post-op rehabilitation, neurological deficit rehabilitation, cardiorespiratory rehabilitation and pain management and management of injuries of musculoskeletal nature. Outside of clinical skills, Dilshan has strong leadership and organisational skills from managing a team of four clinicians and has also enjoyed providing regular training for other staff in aged care facilities.
