Occupational therapy ATAR cutoffs in NSW
12 occupational therapy courses at 9 institutions in NSW and the ACT, from 99.95 down to 50.35. Double degrees are included. Cutoffs are the lowest selection rank offered a place in UAC's December Round 2 for 2026 entry.
A selection rank includes adjustment points, so some students got in with a lower ATAR. Cutoffs move every year, so treat them as a guide and check each course's prerequisites before you put it in your preferences.
