Welcome to OT AUSTRALIA WA
As President of the Western Australian Association of Occupational Therapists (OT AUSTRALIA WA) I would like to welcome you to our organisation’s website. Within this website you will find information regarding the profession of Occupational Therapy (OT), information for OT students and therapists, how to locate an OT in your area and also relevant information specific to members of OT AUSTRALIA WA.
For Western Australian Registered Occupational Therapists, OT Support Staff and students, never before has there been a more beneficial time to join your professional association. This web site will give you an insight into the many benefits of becoming a member of the Association.
New features being added for use by Members include a personalised logging system for recording your Continuing Professional Development, access to Scientific Journals and Systematic Evidence Based Reviews through access to Proquest Nursing and Allied Health.
Heading into 2012, we are planning to:
- introduce even more professional development opportunities
- develop links between our Interest Groups, and the Professional Development, Marketing and Research & Development Committees so that a more united approach to professional development, research and promotion can be achieved
- encourage and coordinate research projects across WA workplaces to enable more significant projects to be undertaken. Support and direction will also be provided for researchers who wish to publish their results
- introduce the new logo and brand for OT AUSTRALIA WA
- further develop our newsletter to increase the clinical content and make the newsletter a more relevant tool for our members and a couple of other initiatives that we find very exciting, but are too early in development to list here. Coming soon…
For more information or enquiries regarding how the Association can be of assistance to you, please Contact Us.

Overview of Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapists are health professionals who are trained to assist people to overcome limitations caused by injury or illness, psychological or emotional difficulties, developmental delay or the effects of ageing. Occupational Therapists are trained to assess the physical and psychological aspects of illness and injury, and can therefore look at how the illness or injury affects an individual, in all aspects of their life.
An Occupational Therapist might treat you in a hospital, your home environment, or your workplace. Visit our “Find An OT” section on the right of this page for assistance with finding an Occupational Therapist in your area.
