About this course

Our comprehensive four-year program covers a variety of topics, focusing on contemporary occupational therapy practice, and based on real-life scenarios and cases. 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 or 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, so 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 locally, nationally and beyond. Current Year 12 students whose primary residence is in a regional or remote area may be eligible to apply for this course through the Regional and Remote Entry Scheme. Eligible students can apply using the reduced Guaranteed ATAR and specific VTAC codes. https://www.federation.edu.au/study/information/high-school-students/early-offer-program/guaranteed…
