The Occupational Therapy Board of New Zealand (OTBNZ) is a regulatory authority dedicated to occupational therapy practitioners. Occupational therapy is the art and science of helping individuals engage in everyday activities and tasks that contribute to their well-being and the fabric of society. The board ensures that occupational therapists practicing in Aotearoa are competent and fit to provide care.

All occupational therapists must be registered and hold a current practicing certificate, which is assessed annually to maintain their competency. The board maintains a register of all currently registered occupational therapists, which can be accessed to verify your therapist's registration. If you have concerns about the care you're receiving, it's recommended to discuss them with your therapist or seek support from a health advocate.

For more information on your options and how to provide feedback or make a complaint, you can visit the board's website. Located in Wellington, the board can be contacted through various channels, including phone and email. Connect with them on Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Instagram for updates and resources
