The Occupational Therapist Assistant and Physiotherapist Assistant diploma at Holland College prepares students for rehabilitation support roles by combining theoretical knowledge of human body rehabilitation with practical clinical skills. The two-year program includes classroom and lab instruction, using a mock rehabilitation clinic equipped with wheelchairs, walkers, and kitchen and bathroom facilities for hands-on skill development, along with a supervised clinical practicum of 16 weeks (610 hours) in healthcare settings. Graduates work alongside occupational therapists and physiotherapists to support patient rehabilitation in hospitals, clinics, long-term care facilities, and community health settings. The curriculum builds competence in therapeutic interventions, patient mobility assistance, and rehabilitation program support, preparing students for a hands-on allied health career supporting patients through their recovery and daily functioning.
