OT Week 2026 Spotlight: Kane Murray, Occupational Therapist
As we come to the end of OT Week 2026 and celebrate this year's theme, "Participation Matters" we're wrapping up our OT Spotlights with Kane Murray, one of our Occupational Therapists. 🌟
What inspired you to become an Occupational Therapist?
I've always wanted a job where I could directly help people and make a genuine difference in my community. What drew me to OT was being able to work alongside people and actually see the impact of what you do on their day-to-day lives.
What does the theme "Participation Matters" mean to you?
To me, participation is all about people feeling included and having the opportunity to be involved in the things that matter to them. Whether that's spending time with friends, pursuing hobbies, working towards goals, or being part of their community, being able to participate brings a sense of belonging, purpose and fulfilment.
What do you love most about being an OT?
The thing I love most is being able to help people improve their quality of life in a real and meaningful way. It's incredibly rewarding to work with someone towards their goals and see them become more independent, confident, and engaged in the activities that are important to them.
If Occupational Therapy was a colour, what colour would it be, and why?
🌈 A rainbow – OT is such a varied profession, and no two days are ever the same.
As OT Week comes to a close, we'd like to thank all of our Occupational Therapists for the dedication, creativity and passion they bring to helping people participate in the activities that matter most to them. 💙
