This product clearly outlines the capabilities required for high-quality, contemporary practice, structured across five key domains: systems knowledge, guiding principles, assessment and planning, therapeutic approaches, and collaborative practice.
Grounded in person-centred, occupation-focused care, the framework supports therapists to deliver meaningful, ethical and effective interventions, even within complex service environments. It emphasises the integration of best-practice models, critical thinking, and adaptability to diverse contexts-including regional and remote settings.
Ideal for clinicians, managers and organisations, this framework provides a consistent foundation for capability development, service design and workforce strengthening, ultimately enhancing participation outcomes for adults.
