OTA Strategic plan

Our strategy honours our history and achievements and paves the way for a future where occupational therapy continues to lead and grow as an allied health profession.

The role of Allied Health Assistants in Supporting Occupational Therapy Practice (October 2015)

For many years allied health (OT) assistants have been part of many public sector occupational therapy departments. With the increased opportunities for assistants arising from the NDIS and aged care reforms and with many workforce reviews in progress by Governments, Occupational Therapy Australia, like many of our other allied health association colleagues, have been developing position statements to guide practice in this area.

Social Justice Groups: Cultural Diversity

OTs provide culturally competent care, address diverse needs, and support inclusive practices in various healthcare settings. OTA members are eligible to join our social justice groups and contribute to culturally informed care.
