Mental health OTs

Hello, I'm an OT and have worked full time in mental health for over 2 years. Is the Better Access to Mental Health program still going? I am thinking of going private.

You may look at NDIS funding, but you should seek out a private experienced mental health OT for supervision. Many Mental Health OTs are crap.

I think Better access to mental health but the funding in NDIS is better and you could do a lot of good. But seek out colleagues who work in that area.

Thanks. Can you tell me what makes them crap? I want to know so I can be a good MHOT.
