Activities Officer (Academic)
This role will entail organising academic-related activities for the society (eg. Careers evening, etc), which provide an opportunity for student members to network with potential employers and academics.  The position will require interaction with relevant academics and external health providers, whilst also having scope for promoting intervarsity involvement with other Physiotherapy courses.  This position may also require interaction with the MONSU Activities portfolio.

Activities Officer (Social)
With the support of the Society committee, this position will be involved with organising all social events for the Society.  This position may also require interaction with the MONSU Activities portfolio.

Publicity Officer (Web)
This position will require someone who is either very capable with web design, or is confident in coordinating the planning, development and construction of a Monash Physiotherapy Society website.  This position provides endless scope for creativity and it is envisaged that a Monash Physiotherapy Society website will be very functional and regularly accessed by all MPS members and external stakeholders.  It will provide a platform for promoting a range of things, as well as allowing advertising for Society sponsors, and showcasing past and future efforts of the society.

Publicity Officer (Events)
This role will provide publicity support for all activities of the Society, through all relevant modes of media.

APA Liason
This position will interact closely with the student branch of the Australia Physiotherapists Association, and provide a direct means for effective two-way communication.

WILDFIRE Liason
This position will interact closely with Monash’s Rural Health Club: WILDFIRE.  With rural, indigenous and international health being a major focus of WILDFIRE, this position will ensure that the Monash Physiotherapy Society (MPS) can have input into their efforts, whilst MPS will also be receiving support from the WILDFIRE committee.  It will also allow members of MPS to become better educated about the issues surrounding rural health and potentially make a difference in these communities.  It is expected that the holder of this position will attend WILDFIRE Peninsula meetings so that direct two-way communication between the clubs can be effective and ensure productive outcomes.

Sponsorship Officer
External sponsorship will be a major source of income for the Monash Physiotherapy Society so that activities and events can be subsidised for its members.  This role would involve developing sponsorship partners with the assistance of MONSU, and then work to maintain these professional/corporate relationships throughout and beyond the elected term of office.

PD Officer
Professional Development will be an integral component of future work as a Physiotherapist.  However, there is also scope to undertake further training to improve skill bases whilst still being a Monash Undergraduate student.  This position will organise professional development sessions and communicate to student members of all relevant PD courses available within and outside of Monash University.
