OTA’s Mental Health Strategy was launched on 25 November 2022 at the Mental Health Forum, and will see OTA deliver a range of actions over two stages, focused on these key areas:

• Workforce - Improved training to support the mental health OT workforce, and sustainable career pathways for occupational therapists working in this sector to support development and avoid burn-out.
• Awareness – Building awareness of occupational therapist mental health capability across health services, funding bodies, and consumers
• Advocacy – Engaging with government and sector stakeholders to advocate on the value of mental health occupational therapy services
