Support for your stage of practice For new graduates, the focus is on strong foundations: understanding a person’s goals, completing assessments, planning therapy and writing clear, useful reports. Previous paid OT experience is not required—your placements, willingness to learn and approach to working with people matter.

For OTs with 1–2 years’ experience, you’ll have opportunities to strengthen your clinical judgement, broaden your skills and take on increasing responsibility, with support appropriate to your experience.
