Recording Your CPD
Occupation Therapy Australia (OTA) encourages you to keep a copy of your program and your receipt or name tag which will specify the days that you have registered to attend. Note the sessions that you attend when you count your CPD hours.
Your attendance at the OT Exchange 2024 will not be automatically recorded on your PD tracker on the OTA website.
You'll need to add your attendance manually by logging in to the OTA website and going to the Record My CPD tab. You're required to keep a personal reflection record which encourages you to take some time to reflect on the implications of the session for your practice.
Certificate of Attendance
A Certificate of Attendance will be issued to all attendees of the OT Exchange 2024. This will be sent out via email after the Exchange.
International Delegates
International delegates are encouraged to check in with their respective association to determine whether this conference adheres to their CPD regulations.
