Today is a day to celebrate World Occupational Therapy Day and all of IUIH’s deadly occupational therapists.   This year’s theme is Occupational Therapy for All. IUIH’s Model of Care aims to ensure that Mob in South East Queensland have access to the healthcare and support they need to live a healthy life. Our OTs provide care to Our People at every stage of life, including supporting the development of jarjum in kindy, in our Disability Services and aged care (Home Support) services.   A big thanks to all the amazing occupational therapists at IUIH who do a deadly job in supporting Mob!

We’re pleased to share the news that alongside our network partners, we’ve been awarded funding to develop additional culturally responsive and trauma-informed training for our deadly network staff. It will further support our dedicated teams’ psychosocial wellbeing as they walk alongside Community. Jobs Queensland Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Community Health Service Brisbane
