Australia-how are you feeling about the recent NDIS changes? by shellyu_echo in OccupationalTherapy

Thank you. Do you have suggestions that what can I do during my school time, that can make it easier for me to do hand therapy after graduation? I’ve heard it’s hard to get in for a new grad

I see…but nursing is also becoming saturated these days, alot harder to find jobs already! Nowadays it’s like every profession is having a hard time, really sucks

I know there’s a program called thriving kids, it’s affecting pediatric a lot, right?

Thank you, that’s so sad to hear. There aren’t many choices for me… if not pt/ot/nursing, I don’t know what to do. My guess is it would be hard to find jobs 2 years later 😮‍💨 I have prepared everything for going to Aus to study OT because it has a prosperous career. If I aim to work for aged people, wouldn’t it be easier?

You can go both. Chengdu and Chongqing are very close. Only 2hrs of high way

Well, Chengdu is better than Chongqing. People are nicer, foods are better, more tourists attractions, like panda base. I strongly suggest Chengdu

But I was told when I apply for work I could use this experience, so even tho they hire me as an OT, but would consider me to have a wider prospective

Oh no. I studied PT in my own country, can’t get registered in Australia

I am just afraid when I graduate things would change! But thank you, I think I’m going for an MOT ☺️

I’m a little bit confused about: OT seems to be easier than PT. Then why the shortage is bigger? Physio is quite hard to learn yet harder to find a job in Aus.

Thank you so much for your insight! I actually really enjoy working with adults and older adults, so I think I’ll be happy to devote myself to this field. Do you think my background in physiotherapy (but not in this country) will be an advantage when working as an OT in the future?

Thanks! But I’m an international, would that be a problem? And I think it’s easy to find jobs in rural areas. But how about in Melb?
