Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Introduction to Sleep course with Sue McCabe from SleepLinks. From the science of circadian health to practical, real-world strategies, it was a fantastic session for OTs looking to bring sleep support into their everyday practice.

Meet Nicole Sanders (Paws and Thrive)— our guest speaker for the Annual OT Week Breakfast 2026! 🎉

With over 20 years' experience as an Occupational Therapist across Australia and England, Nicole's career has taken her from neurological rehabilitation to leading interdisciplinary education across WA's health system. In 2023, she followed a new passion — founding Paws and Thrive, offering canine-assisted OT with her border collie, Ruby.

Today, Nicole specialises in assistance animal assessments and NDIS funding applications, supporting clients with neurodevelopmental and psychosocial disabilities via telehealth across Australia. Her work highlights the powerful role the human-animal bond can play in building participation, resilience and wellbeing.

Join us on Friday 30 October at Fraser's Function Centre, Kings Park, as Nicole shares her journey and insights on this growing area of practice.
