Two years in Brisbane, and last night we marked it with the providers who make the work possible. It was an fantastic evening of live exoskeleton demonstrations, great conversations and genuine collaboration across disciplines.

A huge thank you to our spotlight providers, who each brought their expertise to the floor in just three minutes:
🔹MLEA Occupational Therapy
🔹Queensland Rehabilitation Specialists
🔹My FootDr
🔹Spinal Life Australia

Thank you to our co-host Move Mobility, and to everyone who joined us from across allied health, local council, aged care, NDIS providers and beyond. You saw the technology in action, asked the hard questions, and made connections that will matter for the people we all support. Collective care starts with connection and that's what last night was all about!

This OT Week, we put participation to the ultimate test… with a game of this or that! 👀

From grocery shopping in store vs online , to the very important debate of folding your clothes straight away vs living out of the clean washing basket, our team had some STRONG opinions. 😂

This years theme, participation matters, is a reminder that the activities, routines and things we enjoy can look different for everyone.

Which one would cause the biggest debate in your office?

We sat down with Luke for a quick-fire chat about life as a Community OT, from the way he approaches his work to the little things that make up a day on the road.

Don’t underestimate a simple dot to dot 👀
It’s an easy activity to have on hand, but you can also change how you use it depending on what you’re working on with your client.
A few ideas:
👉 Finger trace it first
Let them work out where they’re going before adding the extra demand of holding and controlling a pencil.
👉 Put it on a vertical surface
Stick the same sheet on a wall, easel or whiteboard and suddenly you’ve changed the position and physical demands of the activity without having to create anything new.
👉 Add some sequencing
Have them find and say each number before connecting it to the next one. Now you’re bringing visual scanning and sequencing into the activity as well.
You can also change the writing tool, make it part of a home program or use it as a quick warm-up in a session.
One printable, lots of ways to use it.

We have a FREE Dot to Dot Pack ready to go.

There’s a reason Strava, run clubs, Pilates and marathons seem to be everywhere at the moment.
For some people, it’s the routine. For others, it’s having a goal to work towards, seeing progress, being part of a community, getting outside, or simply finding something they genuinely enjoy doing.
And that’s where it gets interesting from an OT perspective.
The same activity can mean something completely different from one person to the next. A Saturday morning run might be about achievement for one person, social connection for another, and the one bit of structure someone looks forward to all week.
When a client has already found something that works for them, there’s value in getting curious about why.
What are they getting from it? What keeps them coming back? And what can that tell us about the occupations that are meaningful to them?
OTs, what current wellness trend have you found yourself looking at through an OT lens? 👇

What turns a good OT recommendation into a successful home modification?
It is not enough to recommend an “accessible shower”. The builder also needs to understand how the person transfers, what equipment they use, whether assistance is required and which clearances are essential.
A stronger approach connects:
- The occupational outcome
- The design requirements
- The construction solution
This helps protect the functional outcome while giving building professionals the information they need to develop a safe, practical solution.

Working in medicolegal occupational therapy asks a lot of an OT.
Strong clinical reasoning is fundamental, but so is the ability to communicate that reasoning clearly, select the right assessment approach for the matter, form an independent opinion, and explain and defend that opinion when it is tested.
That is why ongoing professional development is such an important part of how we practise at MLEA.

At our latest training day, our Medicolegal OT team worked through nuanced FCE assessment options and range of motion training, report writing for NDIA and AAT Appeals, and preparation for cross-examination.
What stood out was the breadth of skill the role demands.
A medicolegal OT can move from the detail of a functional assessment, to the rigour of written evidence, to considering how their clinical reasoning would stand up under questioning. Each part requires care, precision and a willingness to keep developing.

Our OTs bring that dedication to every aspect of their practice. They are experienced clinicians, but they also continue to question, refine and strengthen the way they work.
Because expertise in this field is never something we consider finished. It is something that is built through experience, reflection, learning and a commitment to doing the work well.
And that commitment ultimately matters to the people relying on an OT’s opinion.

How does your team create space for experienced professionals to keep developing their practice?

This month on The OT Download, we unpack one of the biggest challenges in home modifications... and that is that most homes were never designed with the person who eventually lives there in mind.
By the time an OT is involved, we're often working with existing spaces, existing constraints and very real functional needs. The challenge becomes balancing standards, the home that's actually there, and the person standing in front of us.
It's a reminder that good home modifications aren't just about compliance. They're about finding practical solutions that work for real people in real homes.

Home modification projects can be clinically sound, approved and constructed to an acceptable standard, yet still fail to deliver the outcome a client expected.
That can happen when clinical intent is lost between assessment, design, quoting and construction, or when the finished project meets technical requirements without supporting the person’s real routines, transfers, equipment or priorities.
Our latest blog explores why good projects go wrong and the role occupational therapists can play in connecting client priorities, functional requirements and construction decisions from the beginning of a project through to post-completion review.
