Occupational therapy is about the health and rehabilitation of people of all ages. Those who need specialised help – due to physical, development, social or emotional challenges – to lead independent, productive and satisfying lives.

 

Accidents happen. People get sick. Sometimes circumstances just get in the way of living a full life. As an Occupational Therapist, you can help give people their lives back. Western's Bachelor of Occupational Therapy is among the top programs in Australia. To meet the fieldwork guidelines of the World Federation of Occupational Therapists, you’ll be given hands-on experience and 1,000 hours in a professional practice. And if you decide not to go on to be an Occupational Therapist, you have the option of graduating with a Bachelor of Health Science after three years.
