General Information

Overview

This 18 credit point unit is a clinical unit where you will complete your first long block of work integrated learning. Successful completion of the professional practice hours will contribute towards your accreditation requirements of completing a minimum of 1000 work integrated learning hours. This unit aims to foster your ability to consistently utilise the occupational therapy process when working with clients. Through integrating and applying the academic concepts, professional reasoning and professional behaviours you have developed throughout your course you will ensure the ethical and legal responsibilities of your professional practice are met. You will be allocated to one work integrated learning opportunity, which will be selected by the practice education manager from a variety of settings and client groups. You may also be required to undertake your work integrated learning away from your home town at your own expense. Work integrated learning opportunities will vary in start and finish dates and it is important to plan on being available for commencement from the end of Term 1 until 31 December of the same year. Additionally you will participate in a compulsory residential focusing on preparing you for the work integrated learning experience through a variety of seminars and workshops.
