ABOUT THE MENTAL HEALTH FORUM

For OTs shaping the future of mental health practice.


The OTA Mental Health Forum is Australia’s only major occupational therapy forum dedicated exclusively to mental health practice –

bringing together OTs from across the country to learn, connect and shape the future of mental health occupational therapy.


Whether you’re an experienced mental health OT or exploring mental health as your next career direction, the Forum is an opportunity to learn from

clinicians and leaders shaping contemporary practice, discover practical approaches you can take straight back to your work, and connect with people

who understand the realities, challenges and rewards of mental health OT.


The focused program explores the issues and approaches shaping mental health practice today, with sessions covering trauma, eating disorders, forensic mental health, sensory modulation, sexual wellbeing, workplace wellbeing, ethical practice and family-centred care.


Through practical workshops, thought-provoking sessions and meaningful opportunities to connect, you’ll explore innovative approaches, strengthen your capability and gain confidence in your practice.


Most importantly, you’ll leave feeling more connected, more capable and more confident in the unique value of occupational therapy in mental health.
