RECORDED WEBINAR SUMMARY

Across Australia, occupational therapists are navigating unprecedented pressure—rising service demand, workforce shortages, administrative complexity and moral distress are reshaping the realities of practice. The Year You Thrive; A Burnout Prevention Blueprint for OTs  is a dedicated space for OTs to pause, recalibrate and build a personalised, sustainable plan to protect wellbeing and take care of themselves as the pressures of work mount.

What You Will Learn:

In this practical and evidence-informed session, you will:

• Build your personalised Burnout Action Plan, including what sustains you as an OT, the factors placing you at risk, and a tailored prevention and recovery roadmap.
• Understand how current workforce pressures—including chronic shortages, recruitment and retention challenges, and rising service demand—impact wellbeing and how to buffer against them.
• Explore frameworks and protective structures to keep your professional identity despite often restrictive policy environments.
• Learn strategies to strengthen your resilience and energy management and reduce overwhelm

 

By attending this session you will:

• Gain practical tools and strategies to prevent burnout and manage stress in a high-demand profession.
• Develop a personalised Burnout Action Plan tailored to your career stage, practice setting, and values.
• Leave with a clear, actionable roadmap to thrive professionally and personally in the evolving OT workforce
