The Council of Occupational Therapists Registration Boards (Australia and New Zealand) Inc (COTRB), is the body responsible for assessing overseas occupational therapy qualifications for recognition in Australia. The COTRB administers both the assessment of qualifications and the practice audit procedures.
Registration is not required in the ACT, however if you want to work as an occupational therapist in a government-funded agency, such as a public hospital or a community health centre, you are usually expected to have qualifications acceptable to OT AUSTRALIA.
OT AUSTRALIA is the professional association for occupational therapists in Australia.
Similar to the specific Registration Boards, initial membership of OT AUSTRALIA requires recognition of your qualifications by COTRB (www.cotrb.saboards.com.au).
