Are you an NDIS clinician who asks themselves these questions...
NDIS FAQS: What You’re Asking Most in 2025
Recorded Webinar for Health Professionals
After lots of supervision conversations this year, I’m answering the 10 most-asked NDIS questions — all in one practical, on-demand webinar recording.
We’ll cover the questions you’ve been Googling, stressing over, or stuck on — with real examples, case studies, and downloadable tools to take away. From functional assessments and impairment notices, to funding periods, report writing, and support recommendations — we’ll break it all down so you can work smarter, not harder.
And yes — the resource I get asked for every week is nearly available!
When you sign-up you will also be added to the Your OT Tutor mailing list.
This recording is free for Your OT Tutor Alliance members OR you can sign-up for a one-off purchase as a non-member for $69.
NB: If you are already a YOTT Alliance member, there's no need to sign-up - you should be able to see this tile on your LMS dashboard now!
Wondering what topics we'll cover?
Here are the top 10 NDIS questions I've been asked so far in 2025...
1. What is the future of functional capacity assessments?
2. What do I need to know about impairment notices?
3. Will funding periods impact the way I deliver my services?
4. How can I set appropriate expectations for my clients?
5. Should I be using standardised assessments in all my reports?
6. How should I write about my client's function so their support needs are clear?
7. A multidisciplinary approach takes effort - is it worth it?
8. How do I know how many support worker hours to recommend?
9. How do I know how many capacity building hours to recommend?
10. Is it worth writing a decent report if planners don't read them?

Do you have a question about the webinar?
Is this appropriate for all allied health clinicians or just OTs?
Many of the topics covered will be most helpful for OTs, especially those who write functional capacity assessments, however much of the content is applicable to all allied health clinicians. Information regarding impairment notices, funding periods, multidisciplinary teamwork, managing expectations, report writing, standardised assessments and recommending capacity building hours will be applicable to all clinicians. So, almost all of it!

TESTIMONIALS
Clare, with this course you've really set the industry standard. I've completed just about every course on FCA for OT's out there and this is by far the most in-depth, presented in such a systematic and clear way - the effort you've put into making this course is abundantly clear, and honestly I'm so grateful that you've created this to kindly share with your professional network. This course gets a solid 5/5 for me - thank you so so much! :)

Dave J - Director and Occupational Therapist
I commend Clare for her ability to effectively communicate complex concepts and create an engaging learning environment. Her passion for empowering clinicians and ensuring high-quality assessments that align with the core principles of the NDIS is truly commendable....I have found Clare to be approachable and responsive, always willing to provide answers and support when needed. Overall, Clare is an invaluable asset to any educational program or training initiative.
Kumar E - Principal Occupational Therapist
As a busy practice owner, I’ve absolutely loved having this resource available for my new grads . Even though I’ve got plenty of my own guides and sample FCA reports to share with them , what I lack is time to sit down and go through these step by step to make sure they truly understand the process. The 8 hours worth of online learning has been a massive investment for me and a valuable resource for my team. Thank you Clare Batkin!
Angie C - Director and Occupational Therapist
Clare has been an invaluable resource for me as a new graduate OT - I regularly check her business page: Your OT Tutor and have recommended my colleagues do the same for easy to digest updates and tips! Clare has gone out of her way to assist me with my CPD portfolio and provided me with such a helpful template to use (a life saver!). Clare is extremely helpful, approachable, and very responsive despite her busy schedule.
Brodie S - New Graduate OT
Clare has done a fabulous job with spearheading 'Your OT Tutor', a journal club that has really helped me stay up to date with the current evidence on topics directly relevant to my practice. Her approach is comprehensive yet practical, given how time-poor clinicians often are, and I am very much looking forward to our 2023 sessions. I highly recommend Clare to other OTs - those starting out as well as others who are more established in the profession - she is an absolute asset to both.
