At present, occupational therapists must be registered to practice in Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia and the Northern Territory. Registration is through each states registration board www.cotrb.com.au/otherboards.htm . If you hold overseas qualifications, you will need to apply to the COTRB to have your qualifications assessed and accredited for you become eligible for limited/conditional registration.
