Professional Supervision Program

The Professional Supervision Program will set you up to confidently undertake best practise supervision.

Developed in direct response to member feedback, this program has its roots in OTA’s Professional Supervision Framework, published in 2019.

Upon completion, you’ll be recognised as a skilled professional supervisor, a transferable skill across settings and regions. Health organisations and employers will easily recognise your established knowledge and capabilities for the delivery of professional supervision.

Through active engagement in this program, you will be able to:

• Deliver quality supervision aligned to established standards and evidence-based frameworks
• Adopt a range of techniques to provide inclusive supervision
• Engage in critical reflection to enhance your supervision practice
• Use supervision to support risk management and risk enablement
• Review the effectiveness of supervision within your team.

This program is delivered through a self-led, practical eLearning platform. We recommend completing this program in 12 weeks, however you will have 6 months access to the program content.

You will receive a practice-integrated activity workbook which will guide you through each module containing multiple interactive activities, encouraging the immediate integration of your learning into your work.
