- Collaborate effectively with consumers, carers, multidisciplinary team members and external agencies to coordinate comprehensive and individualised care.
- Provide clinical leadership, education and professional supervision to less experienced Occupational Therapists, students and multidisciplinary team members.
- Lead and contribute to quality improvement, service development and research activities that enhance occupational therapy practice and consumer outcomes.
