Welcome to OOFRAS

 

What is OOFRAS?

 

OOFRAS is a network of occupational therapists (OTs) working together to develop a field of practice that responds to the occupational needs of refugees. OOFRAS is a non-profit, volunteer-run organisation coordinated and supported by occupational therapists for occupational therapists. We are based in Brisbane, although we span to many parts of Australia, and have members and networks all over the world. We are an organisation based on community and synergy of spirit… we are not a product, a program, or a place – but a people.

OOFRAS partners with occupational therapists and other sectors to build capacity of the profession to provide quality, accessible, and equitable services for refugees, and provides a central hub to support the growing synergy of OTs working in this area. OOFRAS believes in the power of the collective to stimulate and initiate local interest and action, with the aim to build global infrastructure.

Thank you for your interest and support of OOFRAS. We hope the website is inspiring and informative, and guides the way for a better occupational future for refugees and asylum seekers.  Enjoy!
