Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Occupational Therapy

An occupational therapist (OT) supports people experiencing illness or disability to facilitate recovery and overcome barriers, enabling them to do the occupations (daily activities) they need or want to do. This support aims to improve their function, independence and quality of life.
