OVERVIEW

The aim of the National Occupational Therapy Dementia Network (NOTDN) is to facilitate connections between academic and clinician OTs who have an interest in dementia. The network members will contribute individual perspectives, skills, and expertise to support continued advancement of OT dementia practice in Australia. The network is an opportunity to bring together clinical and academic OTs to develop both streams to advance best practice, promote and translate research for people impacted by dementia and the occupational therapy workforce.
