Occupational Therapists (OTs) provide support to people who find it difficult to do meaningful, everyday tasks such as showering, eating, cooking, attending social groups or grocery shopping. An OT will work with you to identify your goals, strengths, and difficulties, and provide solutions that can help you remain safe and live independently in your own home.

Celebrating OT week, we have a few quotes from our team on “What does being an OT mean to you? Why do you think participation matters?

Occupational Therapy (OT) Week is an annual celebration that recognises the incredible impact Occupational Therapists make every day. This year, OT Week will be celebrated from 26 October to 1 November 2026.

The 2026 theme, Participation Matters, highlights one of the core foundations of Occupational Therapy: the understanding that being able to participate in everyday life is fundamental to health, wellbeing, and a sense of belonging.

OT’s work across a wide range of settings and support people to engage in meaningful occupations and activities that matter most to them. Through this work, OTs empower individuals to increase independence, enhance quality of life, and participate fully in their communities.

This OT Week, we celebrate the profession, recognise the outstanding work of OTs, and acknowledge the positive difference they make every day. It is also an opportunity to connect, support, and strengthen our OT community while showcasing the valuable contribution OT’s make to the lives of the people we support.

If you need support to be independent and safe at home, continue doing activities that are important to you and prevent falls and injuries in your home and the community, DPV Health’s professional and experienced team of OTs can help.

Step Up for Equality: Celebrating Change in Our Community

On 30 September, we celebrated the completion of the Step Up for Equality Program - Men's action group, a six-month initiative focused on preventing gender-based violence. Delivered in partnership with Whittlesea Council and Jesuit Social Services, the program brought together 15 local men to explore healthy masculinity, challenge harmful gender norms, and create positive change within their communities.

A huge congratulations to all participants for their commitment, and to the Population Health team, especially Lucy Forwood and Suresh Ruberan, for leading and supporting this impactful program.

🎥 Stay tuned - a video will be released shortly, highlighting the journeys and experiences of some of the program participants.

The food we eat doesn't just nourish us, it can also help care for our planet.

By making small changes at home, we can save money, reduce waste, and create a healthier future for our community and our planet.

Simple ways to reduce food waste:
- Plan your meals before shopping
- Store food properly to keep it fresh for longer
- Turn leftovers into a new meal
- Compost food scraps where possible

Every small action makes a difference.

What's your favourite way to reduce food waste at home?
