Master of Occupational Therapy

Nationally Recognised Higher Education

The Master of Occupational Therapy will prepare you to work with people and communities to enhance their ability to engage in the occupations (activities) they need, want, or are expected to perform. Adopting a strength-based approach occupational therapists use a range of strategies to help those affected by injury or illness, psychological or emotional difficulties, developmental delays or ageing to participate in meaningful occupations.

You will learn how to support people to overcome barriers and to use alternative techniques to achieve their goals. Your studies include how to communicate effectively with clients from all backgrounds and work as part of an interdisciplinary team. You will develop skills in clinical reasoning and reflective, evidence-based practice. You will undertake community-based projects and authentic experiential learning activities to enable you to develop and apply lean, system thinking skills, and respond to complex health care problems as an ethical practitioner.
