Step into a CPD experience designed to move you forward

CPD Empower brings OTs together for high-impact, face-to-face learning that’s immersive, practical, and genuinely rewarding. Choose your stream, sharpen your skills, and connect with peers who are just as committed to advancing their practice.

Designed for both experienced clinicians and those ready to stretch themselves, each workshop stream delivers high quality immersive learning, expert facilitation, and practical insights you can take straight back into your work.

CPD Empower is OTA’s national CPD event series offering in-depth, OT-specific workshops across key areas of practice. When registering, choose one CPD Empower location and one stream to attend - allowing you to focus your time and attention on a specialist topic that aligns with your goals.

You’ll stay with that stream throughout the event, giving you the space to dive deeper, sharpen your skills, and connect meaningfully with peers and presenters. Shared breaks and social moments offer further opportunities to engage with OTs from other streams, swap ideas, and build your professional network.

Held as individual events in Perth, Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne, CPD Empower is intentionally designed to make your time away from work count - whether you’re building foundational confidence or advancing your specialised expertise. You’ll earn interactive CPD hours, access practical resources, and return to work energised, equipped, and inspired.
