Labour Force: Occupational Therapy

Contains data on the demographics and structure of the occupational therapy labour force in Vic, Qld, WA, ACT and NT. Occupational therapy data for 1998 survey, comprising Vic., Qld, WA, ACT and NT only.All occupational therapists renewing their professional registration in those jurisdictions where a registration board exists. The national association also assists with the distribution of the survey to members in some jurisdictions without registration boards. The 2002- 2003 Occupational Therapy Labour Force Survey was distributed to registered occupational therapists in Queensland, South Australia, and the Northern Territory and to members of OT Australia in the other states and the Australian Capital Territory because these jurisdictions didn't have a registration board in 2002-03. For 2002- 2003 there were 3,769 valid responses provided to the AIHW for analysis (Table 3). In the absence of an accurate estimate of the total population of occupational therapists it was not feasible to weight the responses to the survey.本数据集涵盖维多利亚州（Vic）、昆士兰州（Qld）、西澳大利亚州（WA）、澳大利亚首都领地（ACT）及北领地（NT）的作业治疗（occupational therapy）劳动力人口统计特征与结构相关数据。1998年作业治疗调查所获数据仅涵盖上述五个辖区的相关信息，其调查对象为在设有职业注册委员会的辖区内申请职业注册续期的所有作业治疗师。针对部分未设立职业注册委员会的辖区，澳大利亚全国性作业治疗行业协会协助将调查问卷发放至其辖区内的协会会员。2002-2003年作业治疗劳动力调查的发放范围为：昆士兰州、南澳大利亚州及北领地的注册作业治疗师，以及其余各州与澳大利亚首都领地的澳大利亚作业治疗协会（OT Australia）会员——因上述辖区在2002-2003年间未设立职业注册委员会。2002-2003年本次调查共回收3769份有效问卷，提交至澳大利亚健康与福利研究所（AIHW）用于分析（见表3）。由于无法准确估算作业治疗师的总人数，因此无法对本次调查的回收数据进行加权处理。
