CDU CDU Occupational Therapy Course Coordinator Nicole O’Reilly says qualified professionals are in high demand. A new occupational therapy program being run at Charles Darwin University (CDU) for the first time is set to drive much-needed professionals into the Northern Territory’s allied health sector. The Occupational Therapy Program was established after two years of planning with dedicated staff since October 2020, marking a new era in CDU’s allied health portfolio and a milestone for the Northern Territory’s health services. The postgraduate program will equip students with field-ready skills through the 1,000 hours of practical education and online learning supplemented by intensives throughout the course.
