OT Week
Exciting news!
OT Week 2024 will be held 21 – 27 October.
The theme for this year is Celebrating 80 Years of Connection!
Stay tuned for more information and collateral over the coming weeks.
As we mark 80 years since the formation of the first Occupational Therapists Club in Australia, we invite you to be part of a special celebration that honours our history, raises the profile of occupational therapy profession, and fosters a strong sense of community among our members. Occupational therapists have a long and proud history of coming together and we want to acknowledge and celebrate whilst highlighting the growth and evolution of the profession.
The strength of connection in the OTs community is admirable.

Last OT Week we celebrated the World Federation of Occupational Therapists’ theme: Unity Through Community.
During OT Week, we asked you to #UniteForOT.
As a profession, we are united by community. OTs play a vital and dynamic role in helping people engage with and participate in their community – in whichever way is meaningful to them.
Not only do we work across a broad range of settings, we also help people engage in meaningful occupations.
Last year, we wanted to recognise the OT profession, celebrate the brilliant OTs working today and lift our OT community.
