| Samenvatting: | The OT academic leaders network (OTALN) aims to capitalise on the substantive work already undertaken to date to develop the occupational therapy academy in Australia and New Zealand by building on and extending the emerging leaders network (ELN) developed as part of Sylvia Rodger's one year ALTC Fellowship program. The involvement of new, emerging and established academic leaders will provide opportunities for mentoring, career development, and discussion of curriculum, teaching and learning matters across the academy. The network will draw on the expertise of past and current ALTC fellows and project leaders beyond the discipline of OT, especially in academic leadership development, work integrated learning, and establishing work ready graduates. Final Summary: Occupational therapy academics and professional staff members have enjoyed a range of in-person and electronically-mediated opportunities to share practice and develop their knowledge and skills in Occupational Therapy learning and teaching. The network, with input from representatives of key discipline organisations, as well as participants in the network's professional development activities, has honed its approaches to delivering effective learning opportunities for staff wanting to enhance their skills in occupational therapy learning and teaching.
