The WFOT directly links 107 Member Organisations around the world, with an individual membership of in excess of 29,000 therapists and a national organisation membership that represents over 633,000 occupational therapists internationally.
WFOT has prepared guidelines to assist qualified occupational therapists who are interested in working outside their own country/territory. This can be a unique, enriching professional and personal experience, for which the individual therapist needs to plan carefully. Refer to the "Occupational Therapy International Practice Guide" resource.
