Welcome to The Occupational Therapy Board of South Australia

The Occupational Therapy Board of South Australia (the Board) is the statutory authority in South Australia responsible to Parliament for the administration of the Occupational Therapy Practice Act 2005, which is an Act to protect the health and safety of the public by providing for the registration of occupational therapists and occupational therapy students; to regulate the provision of occupational therapy for the purpose of maintaining high standards of competence and conduct by those who provide it; to repeal the Occupational Therapists Act 1974; and for other purposes.

This is achieved by:

ensuring that persons applying for registration:
- have the necessary recognised tertiary qualifications;
- are fit and proper;
- are medically fit;
- are competent to safely practice;
maintaining appropriate registers;
ensuring that registered persons:
- are fit and proper;
- maintain high standards of competence and conduct;
approving courses of education and training that provide qualifications for registration;
establishing benchmarks for practice through endorsing/preparing standards of conduct and practice, and guidelines on continuing professional development;
investigating complaints about a registrant's or service provider's conduct, competence or capacity, and taking the necessary disciplinary or remedial action;
preventing or restricting the practice by unregistered or unqualified persons;
the investigation and prosecution of summary offences under the Act or Regulations.
