Each year, our practice voluntarily supervise OT Students to help develop the next generation of therapists. In 2025 we supervised an ACU 4th year Student on a 10 week placement and two JCU 2nd year students on week long placements.

We need to look after each other.

Our thoughts are with every person and community impacted by the terrible attack at Bondi yesterday 🧡

In the aftermath of traumatic events, you might be feeling distressed, tearful and anxious, this is entirely normal and could linger for many days or even weeks.

Trauma can have far-reaching effects on the mind and body. It can cause people to have difficulty sleeping or to feel very anxious, especially about returning to the scene of a trauma.

It can be hard to know what to do or how to help others who may need it. Below you will find some practical ways to take care of yourself after a traumatic event has occurred 👇

Shoulder pain is something we can help with at CairnsOT. It just doesn’t affect those that are lifting heavy weights or reaching repetitively, it also shows up in people that are doing everyday tasks like hanging the washing, reaching into overhead cupboards or picking up kids. As OTs, our role is to connect the dots between movement, patterns, posture, environment, and function. With the right strategies we can help clients reduce pain and restore their capacity to do every day tasks.

We focus on the small wins.
It’s not always flashy and photo-worthy but gives a warm spark.
