Occupational therapy is a client-centered health profession that focuses on helping people improve their health and well-being through their work. The main objective of occupational therapy is to help patients and enable them to engage in everyday activities. Occupational Therapists work with patients throughout their lifespan in overcoming challenges caused by accident, disease, aging, and developmental delay, and promote their general health and wellbeing.
Occupational therapists operate in a wide range of settings, including public health, non-profit organisations, and private practice. Occupational therapists are in high demand in the healthcare industry, and this figure is expected to rise. In Australia, the profession of occupational therapy is unique among allied health care careers. It’s a career path with endless prospects because it allows one to serve a wide spectrum of individuals in various realms of society.
