Occupational Therapist jobs in Mildura VIC

OTs help people do the everyday activities that matter to them after illness, injury or disability, or as they age. In hospitals that often means discharge planning, home visits, equipment prescription and rehabilitation. In aged care, OTs assess falls risk, seating and pressure care, and help residents keep as much independence as possible. Disability work, much of it funded through the NDIS, includes functional capacity assessments, assistive technology and home modification reports, which call for strong report writing. Paediatric OTs work with children on fine motor skills, sensory processing and school participation. Mental health and workplace rehabilitation roles focus on returning people to daily routines and work. Community roles usually involve driving between clients, so a driver licence is commonly required. Tell recruiters which client groups you have worked with, as experience is usually matched closely to the setting.
