Malaysian Occupational Therapy Association (OT Malaysia)

The Malaysian Occupational Therapy Association (OT MALAYSIA) is a professional independent and non-political organization. Interest in the formation of the association started in the late sixties which led to its inauguration on 20 March 1969 with members who were all trained overseas mostly from Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom and India. OT Malaysia became a full member of the World Federation of Occupational Therapists (WFOT) in 1990 after the College of Occupational Therapists in Kuala Lumpur Hospital was accredited by WFOT and the Malaysian Public Services Department.
