As occupational therapists, we understand the importance of engagement in meaningful activity and that occupational balance is essential for achieving positive health and well-being outcomes for clients. However, often within occupational therapy roles there is a focus on the self-care and productivity occupational domains, due to influences such as service directives or pressures with time resources. It is important as occupational therapists and occupational therapy service providers that we recognise the place and value of leisure activities. If we are to enable positive health and well-being outcomes for our clients, we must ensure we are working holistically and enable access to meaningful activities across all occupational domains.

• Understanding the value of the leisure domain in achieving a balance of occupations and how this contributes to positive health and well-being for clients
• How the skills of the occupational therapist can be used within unique and diverse settings to support engagement within leisure activities
• How occupational therapists can be aware of constraints within practice settings that can limit holistic treatment
• Using indirect and alternative strategies to enable engagement in meaningful leisure activities for clients
