This article records the findings of a study into current Australian occupational therapy practice for clients desirous of entering or returning to employment. Sixty‐six therapists were surveyed through occupational therapy associations in order to determine their familiarity with current work assessment tests and the areas of work assessment causing them concern. This constitutes a preliminary study, carried out in conjunction with an Institute of Industrial Engineers' Task Force to ultimately determine the educational needs of the occupational therapists practising in the area of work assessment.
