🌍 Happy World Occupational Therapy Day! 🎉

Today we celebrate our incredible Occupational Therapists and the difference they make across our community every day.

At Colac Area Health, our Occupational Therapists help people who have difficulty carrying out everyday activities safely and independently — whether due to physical, mental, or developmental conditions, or the effects of ageing.

💚 Occupational Therapy in Action is about practical, person-centred support that helps people live their best lives. Our team puts this into action by:
• Adapting the environment
• Modifying tasks
• Teaching new skills
• Providing education
• Connecting people with community supports

Through their compassion, creativity, and expertise, our Occupational Therapists empower individuals to achieve greater independence and participate fully in daily life.

👏 Join us in celebrating Occupational Therapy in Action at CAH — where every day, our OTs help others thrive.
