Regional, rural and remote

Aim of the Group

We are an interest group for people who love working beyond the city walls and want to build community with the many other occupational therapists who love it too. We are a friendly and supportive space for regional, rural, and remote therapists to:

  • develop networks and knowledge
  • share evidence, case examples, learnings, and wins, and
  • advocate for regional, rural, and remote practice, people, and places.
