Welcome to the NZ Society of Diversional Therapists Inc
The goal of the NZSDT Inc. is to provide quality service and education in all aspects of Diversional Therapy. By providing activities that improve the lives of those in our care and promoting the highest standards of Diversional Therapy, through understanding, education, and the encouragement and cooperation of fellow Diversional Therapists.
As a professional organisation full registration is open to individuals currently employed in the field of Diversional Therapy. This includes Diversional Therapists, Motivation Therapists, Activities or Recreation Officers and Occupational Therapy Aides.
All DT’s follow the Standards of Practice and Code of Ethics of the NZ Society of Diversional Therapy, which is also a requirement of all tutors and assessors.
December Update
Posted: 01/12/08This past year has been a challenge for the Society and the economy. Interestingly one of the few major growth areas is the continued expansion of rest homes. This is certainly one area that will continue to offer opportunities for DT’s.
It should be noted in a tight employment market, it’s the qualified that have better odds of achieving employment. It’s therefore important for those studying to continue and to press on for completion. For those already registered, maintaining your status has never been more important.
The Executive Members wishes you and your family a wonderful and safe Christmas, and a prosperous New Year. We look forward to meeting many of you at the National Conference ‘River of Life’ Wanganui in 2009.
Vacancy Update – Keep checking the vacancy page.
Remember to say you are applying for the position as seen on the DT website.
Forum Update – We have updated the forums, which have a slightly changed look and have updated the question system involving the lettering, to make it slightly easier to read yet maintain security. If you have had difficulty in joining previously please try again.
Webmaster Note – The Webmaster is looking for his Santa Suit and then a holiday. The next update will be in February 2009. However vacancies will be listed as they arrive and the forum is always open. Keep safe, enjoy Christmas and remember the reason for the Season
