The theme for #OTWEEK2022 “OT, what it means to me” was chosen to enable OTs, consumers & partner organisations to share and reflect on OT from their perspective and enable the entire OT community to shine a spotlight on the care and professionalism OTs deliver to their clients.

The Summer Foundation & OTA recently conducted a survey exploring the role of OTs in helping #NDIS participants who are requesting SDA funding. Thank you to all OTs who took time to participate.
