Overview
This unit will build on knowledge and skills gained in OCCT11002 (Introduction to Occupational Therapy Theory and Practice) through exploration of occupational therapy assessment and intervention processes involving activity and occupation as core concepts. You will become familiar with a range of common meaningful occupations and learn how to undertake an occupational therapy activity analysis. Concepts of participation limitations at the person level will be introduced. You will engage in a variety of workshop activities that link key theoretical concepts to occupational therapy practice contexts for activity analysis. You will explore ways of grading and adapting activities to enable client participation.

Assessment Overview
Assessment Grading
This is a graded unit: your overall grade will be calculated from the marks or grades for each assessment task, based on the relative weightings shown in the table above. You must obtain an overall mark for the unit of at least 50%, or an overall grade of 'pass' in order to pass the unit. If any 'pass/fail' tasks are shown in the table above they must also be completed successfully ('pass' grade). You must also meet any minimum mark requirements specified for a particular assessment task, as detailed in the 'assessment task' section (note that in some instances, the minimum mark for a task may be greater than 50%). Consult the University's Grades and Results Policy for more details of interim results and final grades.

Feedback, Recommendations and Responses
Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.
Feedback from SUTE Unit Comments Report T2, 2025 Informal student feedback Unit coordinator reflection
Students noted that clearer assessment instructions were needed for assessment 2 as they were occasionally unsure about exactly what was expected.
It is recommended that the unit coordinator reviews and edits the task description and rubric for assessment 2 to improve clarity of expectation prior to the unit offering in Term 2, 2026.
Feedback from SUTE Unit Comments Report - T2, 2025
Ten percent of student respondents expressed frustration arising from intermittent technology challenges. Students noted occasions where intercampus connections were disrupted, resulting in each campus working independently - creating concern about inconsistent learning experiences between campuses.
It is recommended that the unit coordinator and the CB84 academic team maintain active collaboration with the Teaching Technology and IT teams to pursue ongoing improvements to intercampus ISL connectivity, ensuring that the learning experience remains as consistent and equitable as possible across campuses.

The Bachelor of Occupational Therapy - Honours (CB84) is an internal undergraduate course. Students are expected to attend all lectures, tutorials, workshops, interprofessional education (IPE), and work-integrated learning (WIL) sessions in person for each OCCT unit of study, unless otherwise notified.
The Introduction to Activity and Occupation (OCCT11001) unit is delivered internally and requires in-person on-campus attendance for lectures, workshops, WIL, IPE, and the Professional Presentation Seminar (Assessment 3), unless otherwise notified by the unit coordinator. It is your responsibility to ensure you sign the attendance sheet at every session. Watching recordings (if available) will not count as in person attendance.
In addition to signing the attendance sheet, you are required to have your WIL transcript signed at the conclusion of each relevant session. A printed copy of this document will be provided to you in the first week of term - an electronic copy will be posted to Moodle. It is your responsibility to bring this document to each relevant session for signing. Backdating of signatures is not permitted. These WIL hours contribute to the total of 1000 hours of professional practice required to graduate from CB84 and to register as an Occupational Therapist.
If you are unable to attend a session, you must notify your unit coordinator as soon as possible (j.stanley@cqu.edu.au). You are responsible for catching up on any missed content as repeat sessions are not offered as part of this unit.
If you require a prolonged absence (more than 2 weeks) due to personal or health-related reasons, you must not only notify the unit coordinator but also arrange a meeting with the unit coordinator to discuss your progression in the unit. Please make contact as soon as possible in this situation.
1 Practical Assessment
This assessment has two (2) component tasks:
Task 1:
You are required to design a professional information sheet to educate and promote occupational therapy to the general public. The information sheet should be suitable for display in a General Practice (GP) clinic waiting room, meaning it must be clear, engaging, and accessible to a broad audience.
Your information sheet must include:
-
- a definition of occupational therapy,
- an explanation of activity and occupation, and how these are central to occupational therapy practice (i.e., how occupational therapists use activity and occupational analysis clinically)
- an overview of the types of skills and body functions occupational therapists assess and address through activity and occupation, and
- examples of how one activity might be used differently by an occupational therapist across different client groups (e.g., adult, aged care, mental health, paediatric, etc.)
You can be as creative as you wish with your information sheet but must also be mindful that it contains useful information.
Task 2:
You are required to compile a Bibliography using APA 7th formatting.
It is expected that you will use a minimum of five (5) peer-reviewed literature sources to inform your content.
** It is NOT expected that you will produce a professionally printed information sheet for this task, however, you will need to create an information sheet that has the potential to be printed.

As a CQUniversity student you are expected to act honestly in all aspects of your academic work.
Any assessable work undertaken or submitted for review or assessment must be your own work. Assessable work is any type of work you do to meet the assessment requirements in the unit, including draft work submitted for review and feedback and final work to be assessed.
When you use the ideas, words or data of others in your assessment, you must thoroughly and clearly acknowledge the source of this information by using the correct referencing style for your unit. Using others’ work without proper acknowledgement may be considered a form of intellectual dishonesty.
Participating honestly, respectfully, responsibly, and fairly in your university study ensures the CQUniversity qualification you earn will be valued as a true indication of your individual academic achievement and will continue to receive the respect and recognition it deserves.
As a student, you are responsible for reading and following CQUniversity’s policies, including the Student Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure. This policy sets out CQUniversity’s expectations of you to act with integrity, examples of academic integrity breaches to avoid, the processes used to address alleged breaches of academic integrity, and potential penalties.
What is a breach of academic integrity?
A breach of academic integrity includes but is not limited to plagiarism, self-plagiarism, collusion, cheating, contract cheating, and academic misconduct. The Student Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure defines what these terms mean and gives examples.
Why is academic integrity important?
A breach of academic integrity may result in one or more penalties, including suspension or even expulsion from the University. It can also have negative implications for student visas and future enrolment at CQUniversity or elsewhere. Students who engage in contract cheating also risk being blackmailed by contract cheating services.
Where can I get assistance?
For academic advice and guidance, the Academic Learning Centre (ALC) can support you in becoming confident in completing assessments with integrity and of high standard.
What can you do to act with integrity?
