Developing Cultural Safety capabilities requires both education and reflective practice. As future healthcare professionals, occupational therapy graduates need to be prepared to practice in a culturally safe way to promote health equity for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples. This study explored occupational therapy students' perceptions of their capabilities for practising Cultural Safety by evaluating an occupational therapy course on Indigenous health.
