Professional Supervision Program

Developed in direct response to member feedback, our Supervision Program will enable you to take your career to the next level and support the next generation of OTs.

The Professional Supervision Program will set you up to confidently undertake best practise supervision.

Upon completion, you’ll be recognised as a skilled professional supervisor, a transferable skill across settings and regions. Health organisations and employers will easily recognise your established knowledge and capabilities for the delivery of professional supervision.

Through active engagement in this program, you will be able to:

  • Adopt a range of techniques to provide inclusive supervision
  • Engage in critical reflection to enhance your supervision practice
  • Use supervision to support risk management and risk enablement
  • Review the effectiveness of supervision within your team.

This program is delivered through a self-led, practical eLearning platform. We recommend completing this program in 12 weeks, however you will have 6 months access to the program content.

You will receive a practice-integrated activity workbook which will guide you through each module containing multiple interactive activities, encouraging the immediate integration of your learning into your work.

Testimonials

I highly recommend this program to all OTs who have (or hope to have) a supervisory role

Kimmy | Director, OT & EFT Practicioner, Be You Occupational Therapy Pty Ltd

Supervision is a critical part of ensuring good practice for occupational therapists. It enables professional growth and development. Gaining access to supervision for some occupational therapists has been challenging so the OTA Supervision Program will enable better access and confidence for all involved

Carol McKinstry | National President, OTA

A great step towards re-normalising supervision in practice!

Dale Htaeh Elad | OTA Member

Easy to read content. Videos are engaging and easy listening – well done!
