This draft Capability Framework outlines the essential knowledge, skills, and attitudes required for occupational therapists working with Environmental Modifications across various career stages and across all relevant Australian service settings.

The framework aims to:

• facilitate occupational therapists’ self-reflection and decision making regarding their practice
• help practitioners identify areas where they may need to enhance their knowledge or skills relevant to their service setting or area of practice
• demonstrate the professional practice expectations of occupational therapists at different career stages
• support advocacy for the role, function and scope of practice of occupational therapy to key stakeholders, including government, funding bodies, employers and managers

OTA is calling for feedback on the draft framework, which is available in the Downloads section below.
