Content

In this unit, students will deepen their understanding of the occupational therapy process, with a focus on collaborative goal setting, assessment, and intervention planning. Emphasis is placed on culturally safe, relationship-focused, and community-led practice, guided by a range of models and theories to inform occupational participation, health, and wellbeing. Learning activities will centre the knowledges and leadership of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples and other communities we work with, developing students’ skills in critical reflexivity around power, positionality, and context. Students will explore collaborative, strengths-based, decolonising approaches that honour lived and living experience, relationality, and local ways of knowing and doing. This unit prepares students to work ethically and responsively with adults, families, social networks, and workplaces, to work in partnership with people experiencing mental ill health, trauma, systemic disadvantage, or complex occupational transitions across diverse community contexts.
