Conference Theme
The theme of this conference, Making Evidence Work: Informing practices, organisations and the profession emphasises the importance of knowledge to inform policies and practices that impact upon the OT profession. Your support enables occupational therapists from a variety of practice areas and backgrounds to get together for shared learning and networking opportunities that benefit the professionals and the clients that we serve.
Conference & exhibition venue
The Gold Coast Convention Centre, venue for the National Conference, is a spacious venue that lends itself well to dynamic flow and interaction of delegates and exhibitors. The exhibition area will be held in Hall 1 which is a large trade display dedicated space.
