OT Week 2026 is coming up, from 26 October to 1 November, with World OT Day being celebrated on Tuesday 27 October.
OT Week is our annual celebration of the extraordinary impact occupational therapists make every day.
This year’s theme, Participation Matters, puts a spotlight on one of the foundations of occupational therapy – the understanding that being able to participate in life is fundamental to our health, wellbeing and sense of belonging.
Help celebrate OT Week by downloading, printing and sharing our free resources. Organise a celebration at your office or practice, and share your photos by tagging us @otaus and using the hashtags #OTWeek2026 and #ParticipationMatters.
