Join our network!

We love to welcome OTs and related professions into our network. If you have an interest in practice in low/middle income countries, or have experience and knowledge to share, we would love to hear from you. Those on our membership email list receive information around opportunities for volunteering, providing remote support to OTs on the field, details of our meetings and study days (which contribute to CPD), and other relevant information. To join, please complete the application form below and return it to enquiries@otfrontiers.com.

Volunteering and Work Opportunities

We are not a sending agency, but we are passionate about equipping and collaborating with OTs working in less resourced settings, so we do come across opportunities in other countries. Find more information here. 

Distance Partnerships

Similar to mentoring, but with a strong emphasis on the equality of the relationship, our distance partnerships allow OTs from different countries to share knowledge and skills. Find more information here. 

Small Grants Scheme

We are delighted to contribute to the projects or CPD of occupational therapists in low and middle income countries. Find out more about applying for a small grant here. To donate to the small grants scheme, please contact us. 

Working Groups

Our Working Groups are recruiting!

We have a number of Working Groups engaged in meaningful projects, including Education, Media, Research and others. If you would like to get involved, please contact enquiries@otfrontiers.com. We look forward to hearing from you! (Please note: the Working Groups primarily collaborate on their projects online.)

Resources Working Group

This new group is aims to develop and streamline the resources on the OT Frontiers website so OTs working in low and middle income settings can access the most useful, up-to-date resources as easily as possible.

Research Working Group

Help find relevant research and evidence related to OT practice in low and middle income countries.

Impact Working Group

Help dig into the impact OT Frontiers has had and is having, to help us channel our efforts and resources most effectively, notice areas that need development, and celebrate our triumphs!  

Media Working Group 

Help us promote the work of OT Frontiers! If you're familiar with navigating social media outlets, we'd love to hear from you. 

Education Working Group
