Certificate IV in Allied Health Assistance specialising in Occupational Therapy

If you enjoy supporting people to reach their full potential, a career in occupational therapy assistance is for you.

One of the most rapidly expanding areas of allied health, occupational therapy helps those affected by illness, injury, accidents or ageing to resume everyday activities such as work, recreation and domestic tasks. With Australia’s ageing population placing services under additional pressure, occupational therapy assistants are highly sought-after to help qualified occupational therapists make the best use of their time. They may work with a variety of clients, from children to the aged, assisting with routine exercises, supporting recreational activities and providing general care.
