Unit Synopsis
This capstone unit will provide you with the opportunity to examine, develop and evaluate your attributes and professional behaviours that, while not explicitly part of the profession's core knowledge and technical skills, are the professional skills required to function as a registered occupational therapist. You will have the opportunity to reflect and evaluate on and evaluate the professional socialisation that has occurred during your formal academic education and practice education, exploring the translation of that professionalism to the complex and dynamic professional sectors in which you may find yourselves practicing. Regulatory requirements for professional practice will be investigated, in addition to consolidating knowledge about the professional and competency standards expected of a new graduate registered health practitioner.

All on-campus students are expected to attend scheduled classes - in some units, these classes are identified as a mandatory (pass/fail) component and attendance is compulsory. International students, on a student visa, must maintain a full time study load and meet both attendance and academic progress requirements in each study period (satisfactory attendance for International students is defined as maintaining at least an 80% attendance record).
Recommended Student Time Commitment
Each 6-credit Undergraduate unit at CQUniversity requires an overall time commitment of an average of 12.5 hours of study per week, making a total of 150 hours for the unit.

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%).

The content respects the diversity and flexible learning requirements of the cohort while they undertake full-time practicum, and is seen as useful and relevant to emerging practice.
It is recommended that the flexibility in design of the unit continue to be emphasised to students, encouraging their autonomy in working through the content to achieve their learning outcomes.
In Progress
On successful completion of this unit, you will be able to:
- Communicate a clear understanding of contemporary contextual factors in Australia influencing the provision of occupational therapy services
- Construct a plan for reflective practice and for ongoing learning, support and mentoring following graduation
- Critically apply relevant legal, ethical and professional reasoning principles to professional practice situations at the level of a beginning registered occupational therapist
- Prepare a professional portfolio to facilitate the transition from student occupational therapist to a registered, employed occupational therapist.
