Media & Advocacy

OTA works to ensure that the great work being done by OTs, their potential to do more, and the challenges they face are brought to the attention of policy makers and bureaucrats.

In developing submissions, media releases and its stance on important issues, OTA seeks consultation with members, interest groups and other peak professional bodies. OTA’s advocacy efforts involve regular interactions with key departmental and agency figures and, when this engagement proves less than satisfactory, approaches to the relevant government minister.

Learn more about OTA’s ongoing advocacy work, past submissions/releases, and the latest industry developments in the sections below.
