OT Week 2018
OT Week 2018 Wrap Up
OT Week 2018 was held from 21-27 October. We were excited to see so many members and occupational therapists taking part and celebrating all the ways occupational therapy can help you reach your pOTential.
OTA is committed to increasing the awareness of the value and benefits of occupational therapy and lifting the profile of the profession. As part of #OTWeek2018 we launched a series of eBooks designed for consumers; they can be downloaded from the OTA consumer website aboutoccupationaltherapy.com.au.
There was a wonderful range of events throughout the country including, breakfasts, morning teas, workshops, webinars, yoga sessions and some fantastic online events.
