Graduate Growth Program

Our Graduate Growth Program is designed to support your transition from graduate to professional. We use a structured support model which offers a mix of self-directed activities, group mentoring, co-working with senior therapists and professional coaching to set you up for a successful career as an occupational therapist.

Induction

Professional Learning Goals

Coaching will help you focus on your areas of development and set you on a personalised course to build your knowledge, skills, and behaviours as a therapist.

Co-Working

Co-working will help you understand an occupational therapist’s role more fully with a real focus on development your knowledge of client-centred practice. By having the opportunity to cowork with various clinicians, you will also learn different intervention methods and how to run therapy sessions.

Building Connections
