Overview

Occupational therapy assists people of all ages to participate in the everyday tasks and activities (occupations) that they need and want to do, whether at home, at work, at school or in the community. Occupational therapists transform and adapt environments, activities, equipment and enhance performance to support and promote meaningful engagement and participation. Graduates could assist a person recovering from a stroke to shower and dress independently, develop inclusive playground experiences and environments for children of all abilities, recommend workplace changes that would assist an injured worker to return to work, or design home modifications or public transport changes that would ensure access for a person using a power wheelchair. Students complete approximately 1000 hours of professional placement throughout the four years of study, in settings that may include aged care, hospitals, community health, mental health services, primary schools, industrial environments, private practice and a variety of health, education, and disability centres and services.
