Overview

Occupational Therapy from University of Tasmania, adopting a strength-based approach, occupational therapists use a range of strategies to help those affected by disability, injury, or illness, or psychological or emotional difficulties to participate in meaningful occupations across the lifespan. You will learn how to support people to overcome barriers and to achieve their goals as a culturally safe and ethical practitioner.

Key facts

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, sustainable, evidence-based practice. You will undertake community-based projects and authentic experiential learning activities to enable you to develop and apply the occupational therapy process to respond to complex health issues.

This course will ensure you can work with individuals, families, and carers, in teams and with other health and inter-disciplinary professionals across a range of settings, including rural and remote areas.

This 2-year full time course is offered via blended learning methods including independent, online learning with weekly interactive webinars and peer learning. You must be available for two week-long Residential Schools in Launceston each semester and engage in interprofessional work integrated learning opportunities throughout the course, with community organisations in Tasmania.
