Occupational therapists are health professionals who promote rehabilitative health and wellbeing.

They engage with people across the lifespan, assisting them to live more independent lives.

Occupational therapy can assist people following injury, illness, developmental delay, the effects of aging, and adults with psychological or emotional difficulties.

The primary goal of occupational therapy is to maximise independence through improving or learning new skills for living.
