About Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapists use a whole person perspective to work with individuals, groups and communities to achieve optimal health and wellbeing through participation in the occupations of life.

The term ‘occupation’ is used to describe all the everyday things we do in our life roles, but also the things we do to be who we are, the things we do to create a meaningful life and to engage with wider society and culture.

Occupational therapy is a degree-based health profession and practitioners must be registered with the Occupational Therapy Board of Australia (OTBA) to practise in Australia.
