I have no idea about OT but there's a uni journey journal someone doing OT at ACU started so you might be able to get some insight there or by sending a pm?

I'm a recently finished physio student so can't give OT specific advice but can tell you that the university is the one that organises placements. There is usually a placement coordinator who coordinates all that stuff.

On my placements I've come across a number of ACU OT students and they were all great and seemed super knowledgeable and really liked their course! I really enjoyed working with them.
In the end, OT is a regulated profession where all courses are accredited, so the courses are all more or less the same, so you'd be learning the same stuff no matter which uni you decide to go to. Maybe consider things like uni location, the feel of the campus, etc. to help you make your decision
