Orthotic/Prosthetic Practices 2019: New South Wales Orthotics and Prosthetics in Australia Orthotist/prosthetists assess the physical and functional limitations of people resulting from disease, illness, trauma and disability, including limb amputation, diabetes, arthritis and neuromuscular conditions, such as stroke. Orthotic and prosthetic services may involve the provision of orthoses and prostheses to restore function, prevent deterioration, and improve quality of life. Orthotist/prosthetists are commonly employed in Australian hospitals, private clinics, research institutions as well as rural and remote regions, working independently and as part of multidisciplinary healthcare teams to support the Australian community. Orthotist/prosthetists are tertiary qualified allied health professionals. An Australian Qualification Framework level 7 is required to practice as an orthotist/prosthetist in Australia, consistent with education standards for other allied health professions. Orthotic/prosthetic students complete training alongside physiotherapy, podiatry and occupational therapy students. The Australian Orthotic Prosthetic Association (AOPA) is the peak professional body for orthotist/prosthetists in Australia, with certified practitioners comprising 80% of the practicing profession. AOPA is responsible for regulating the profession and is a founding member of the National Alliance of Self Regulating Health Professions (NASRHP) in partnership with other professional organisations, including Speech Pathology Australia, the Australian Association of Social Workers and Exercise and Sports Science Australia. AOPA is recognised by the Commonwealth Government as the assessing authority responsible for conducting migration skill assessments for orthotist/prosthetists.
