A huge thank you to our Edith Cowan University (ECU) 3rd year OT students - Lucas, Kaitlin, Kiona & Scott - for their fantastic contributions while on placement with us the past 6 weeks! The team has absolutely loved having you all at OTSG, and you will truly be missed as part of our work family! 🙏🤗

These superstars wrapped up placement presenting their project to the wider OTSG team, showcasing a driver preparedness group that they developed while on placement! 🚗👏

A big thank you as well to our amazing supervisors - Marilyn, Tash, Ruth & Mikayla - and to Alex who coordinated - and the rest of our team (shout out Libby & Rianne) who have supported and guided the students throughout their placement 🙌

We’re proud to continue supporting the next generation of occupational therapists in 2026!

As wraps up, we’re sending a huge thank you to Sarah Piercey (Principal Occupational Therapist at Manchester City Council) for inviting us to share a little slice of Aussie OT life - from driver rehabilitation to beach access, and everything in between!

🎥 Our team had a lot of fun putting this together (don't miss the bloopers in the comments!)... spotlighting some brilliant UK innovations that we use right here at the Solutions Centre in Perth, Western Australia - including The StairSteady, Lodgesons and Phoenix Instinct.

It’s was a privilege to connect and celebrate with our international colleagues - reminding us that wherever we work, occupational therapy is about the same core goal: the right support, at the right time!

💚🦘 From Perth to Manchester, we’re proud to be part of this global OT community - learning from each other, sharing ideas, and celebrating the power of occupation

Our very own Chris was busy last week presenting to South Metro Health Service on our DVA & driver assessment and rehabilitation services, and also at Edith Cowan University on a panel presenting to first year OT students on integrating evidence based practice using the Hoffman model.

It was a busy week and so great to connect with both clinicians and students doing incredible work in occupational therapy! 🤗
