Louise established both the Bachelor course and the Masters by Practice course at Monash University and has been a great contributor to the Occupational Therapy profession.

17.01.2022 So great to have the wonderful Emma Gee share her experiences with our new intake of MOTPrac students this week.

17.01.2022 Last Friday Tara and Olivia (currently on placement at the Monash-Yooralla Housing Project) travelled to the TAC in Geelong to attend a research forum. Our Monash colleague Libby Callaway presented project findings from a longitudinal evaluation of participation outcomes of TAC clients living in both traditional and new models of housing and support at this forum (her team has been leading this work for the TAC via ISCRR over the last 3 years). Tara and Olivia participated in a focus group activity to inform translation of research findings into TAC policy and practice. Here's a photo of Tara adding her comments to a focus group question, so great to see Monash University OT students getting involved!
