New! OT full membership to Employment Assistance Professional Association of Australia (EAPAA)

Following discussions with Employment Assistance Professional Association of Australia (EAPAA), EAPAA will now allow appropriately experienced mental health occupational therapists to apply for full membership. Those wishing to apply will need to be Better Access to Mental Health endorsed through OTA and have an individual statement of ongoing supervision in relation to Mental Health work and Counselling. 

EAPAA have also invited OTA’s General Manager of Occupational Therapy, Erin Garner, to present to EAPAA members at their conference in November, to raise awareness among EAPAA members of what mental health occupational therapists do.

We hope that this will lead to further opportunities for all of us to bring EAPAA and the wider mental health community new insights, broader experiences and deeper collegiality.
