Occupational Therapists work collaboratively with people to enable them to actively engage in socially meaningful occupations regardless of limitations. These limitations can be caused by injury or illness, psychological or emotional disabilities, delays in development, effects of ageing, or environmental or societal barriers. Occupational Therapists play an important role to help clients achieve their goals which allow them to lead easier lifestyles. The Bachelor of Applied Science (Occupational Therapy) prepares students for dynamic careers across the diverse areas of occupational therapy practice. Students develop knowledge and skills in mental health, acute care, physical rehabilitation, community health, work rehabilitation, aged care and paediatrics. With a strong focus on patient outcomes, students advance their competency in the science behind occupational therapy as well as the communication and relationship skills essential for patient care.

With the appropriate foundation in specific disciplines, graduates may apply for the Master of Occupational Therapy (Graduate Entry) program.
