Bachelor of Occupational Therapy (Honours)

Federation University Australia

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.
