    About

    Become a leader in occupational therapy to help enable people of all ages to overcome barriers that affect their ability to participate in essential everyday activities – from tying shoelaces to driving a car.

    You'll join one of Australia's leading schools for health and rehabilitation sciences, renowned for its long tradition of teaching, research and graduate excellence.

    Throughout the program, you'll explore and practise a range of approaches to help clients develop, recover or maintain their engagement. You'll address challenges stemming from injury or illness, psychological or emotional difficulties, developmental delays or ageing.

    You'll learn how to collaborate with your clients and other healthcare partners to identify effective solutions, such as modifying tasks or environments, skills development and providing tailored education – designed to meet individual needs and improve their quality of life.

    You’ll gain hands-on experience through over 1000 hours of supervised clinical practice in hospitals, educational facilities, other healthcare organisations, private practice and UQ’s occupational therapy clinics. This allows you to apply your theoretical knowledge to practice and develop your clinical skills in real-life situations.

    The Bachelor of Occupational Therapy (Honours) is accredited by the Occupational Therapy Council of Australia Ltd (OTC) and approved by the Occupational Therapy Board of Australia (OTBA). Graduates will be eligible to apply for registration as an occupational therapist with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA).
