Master of Occupational Therapy

The Master of Occupational Therapy (Curtin University, 2026) is a 2.6-year full-time graduate-entry program designed to prepare students to become qualified occupational therapists. The course focuses on developing skills in assessing and supporting individuals affected by physical, psychological, developmental, and social conditions to improve their independence and quality of life. Students gain strong foundations in occupational therapy theory, evidence-based practice, human development, and rehabilitation, alongside extensive practical training through more than 1000 hours of supervised clinical fieldwork in hospitals, community services, and rural settings. Upon graduation, students are eligible for registration as occupational therapists in Australia through the Occupational Therapy Board of Australia and can pursue careers in healthcare, rehabilitation, disability services, and community health sectors.
