Bachelor of Occupational Therapy (Honours)

Occupational therapists are qualified health professionals who are skilled in a number of areas including physical health mental health rehabilitation pain management driving assessments and paediatrics. Our program focuses on contemporary occupational therapy practice and is based on real-life scenarios and cases. It takes four years full-time to complete and covers a variety of topics. Some subjects are delivered with other health professional students so you will have an inter-professional experience which will increase your employability upon graduation.You'll play a key role in helping clients by providing guidance and the physical skills required to modify and undertake daily tasks. You'll also be key in helping people achieve participation in recreational/leisure activities that are important factors in enabling them to enjoy a fulfilling lifestyle. Rural Australians have less access to occupational therapists than Australians who live in cities and the demand for qualified occupational therapists continues to grow. This program is designed to help to fill this gap while providing you with rewarding career opportunities. 

The Occupational Therapy course is currently accredited by The Occupational Therapy Council of Australia Ltd (OTC) and approved by the Occupational Therapy Board of Australia (OTBA).  
The Occupational Therapy course is also endorsed by the World Federation of Occupational Therapy (WFOT) Program Approval Committee.

Graduates will be eligible to apply for registration as an occupational therapist with the OTBA.
