OTA has prepared a Pre-Budget Submission as part of its annual budget consultation process.

OTA has identified five key areas for government attention in the 2024-2025 financial year, to support occupational therapists to improve the health and wellbeing of the Australian community.  These include:

• Workforce
• Ageing and Aged Care
• Primary Care
• Mental Health
• NDIS and disability support

You can find the Pre-Budget Submission here.

OTA will analyse the 2024-25 Federal Budget when it is handed down in May and prepare a summary of key initiatives for members.
