Are you new to the NDIS and need some CPD to build your competence and confidence?

Get started with the Ultimate NDIS OT CPD Bundle!

Over 20 hours of online, on-demand CPD to help you learn the core skills needed to do well in an NDIS caseload, including step-by-step guides for completing Functional Capacity Assessments and NDIS report writing.

Are you an OT who is new to working in the NDIS? Do you know there is lots to learn but you're not sure where to start?

Or maybe you've been in an NDIS caseload for a while but you're still finding many things challenging.

Do you feel confident when it comes to completing a thorough Functional Capacity Assessment for NDIS participants?

Are you able to write NDIS reports clearly and efficiently so that your recommendations get approved (or so you can back yourself with confidence if the NDIA says no!)?

Do you feel confident with juggling the challenges of an NDIS caseload, such as working with participants who have a huge to-do list, or managing complaints, or knowing how to say "no" when you're asked to do things outside of your scope?

If you answered 'no' or 'sort of' to these questions, this bundle is for you!

Have you signed up for other NDIS CPD, but you're still feeling lost?

This CPD is different!


Learn from an experienced clinical educator who will give you step-by-step guides and practical strategies for completing some common NDIS services that OTs often find challenging.

Benefit from carefully crafted online courses that have been developed with the needs of different learners in mind. There are videos, transcripts, case studies, quizzes, and downloadable resources to help you understand and APPLY what you're learning to your everyday practice.

Being able to access this CPD when and where you need it is important! You'll be able to access the content for 6 months, all in a Learning Management System with one login (no more lost Zoom links that expire on you!).

Need to access the content when you're out and about? You can watch all the recordings via the FREE mobile app!

AND this bundle is an affordable price that will seem too good to be true.

But what will I learn?

The on-demand content will help you develop a range of skills that will be useful when working with an NDIS caseload.

You’ll be able to:

  • Understand the key terminology and principles of doing good work in the NDIS

  • Implement a step-by-step process for completing Functional Capacity Assessments (FCAs) for adult NDIS participants.

  • Utilise a range of strategies for improving the clarity or your NDIS report writing.

  • Learn how to collect comprehensive evidence to help you be confident in your recommendations and justify your reasoning to others.

  • Understand the importance of clear communication and managing the expectations of referrers and clients.

  • Utilise OT models and clinical reasoning to identify and prioritise how to address your client’s needs when it seems like they need everything now!

  • Select appropriate standardised assessments to add value to your NDIS reports and service provision.

  • Identify ways to learn from challenging situations, such as a complaint against you, to improve your future practice.

  • Understand what strategies other OTs are using within NDIS caseloads for things like justifying ‘value for money,’ implementing neurodiversity-affirming care, and assessing and managing pressure care and falls risks.

  • Identify strategies and resources to build personal and professional resilience and help protect yourself from burnout.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How long will I have to access the content?

You'll have access to all the content for 12 months, including all courses and webinar recordings and the journal club content. You'll also have access to the Your OT Tutor Learning Library with no expiry! If life happens and you need an extension, get in touch and I'll see what I can do!

I work in paediatrics - will this content be relevant to me?

Yes - the majority of the content will be relevant to you no matter what NDIS caseload you work in. My area of expertise is working with adults, so there will be some content most relevant for those in an adult caseload (especially in terms of the FCA course). If you're not sure, get in touch with me before buying or check out the other courses and resources on offer.

There have been lots of NDIS changes lately - will these courses cover those?

2025 has been a chaotic year with lots of changes already taking place, but even more uncertainty ahead in terms of future directions. As the majority of the content is focused on core skills and knowledge, it is still relevant and applicable despite the recent changes. Some courses may contain examples or website links that are no longer applicable (or the details may have changed slightly). For now, written updates have been provided alongside the course videos where required, and the webinar recording "NDIS FAQs" covers information about recent changes such as impairment categories and funding periods. Future updates will be added when available and you will be able to access these without having to pay additional fees. In the meantime, if you have specific questions related to a new NDIS rule, you can use a course discussion board, or your free 30-minute chat to ask me your question.

Will this course bundle teach me everything I need to know to be a competent NDIS OT?

Unfortunately not, no course could do that (if it says it can the creators are fibbing!). The NDIS is a challenging sector to work in. Courses like this can provide you with foundational skills and knowledge to help you increase your confidence and competence, but they can't teach you everything you need to know. Throughout the course content it is recommended you engage with a clinical supervisor who can help you implement what you have learnt in the courses to your own caseload. If you don't have access to a supervisor, get in touch and I can send you some suggestions for who would be most suitable for your needs.

Woohoo, a one-on-one chat with Clare! How do I book that in?

You will be able to book this in at any time in the next 12 months. Get in touch when you're ready to book it in and I'll send you my private calendar link to book in a time. Please note there may be reduced availability over the December/January period.

Can I share my login access with someone else?

Unfortunately not – this special price is for one OT only. When you make your purchase, this is one of the terms you are agreeing to. If you want to sign-up a team of OTs, get in touch and ask about my corporate bundles for bulk sign-ups.

Do I have to pay for the mobile app?

No, the mobile app is free! You’ll receive details about how to download it and get started once you sign-up.

I've already bought one of these courses before - can I get a discount?

If you've already bought one of the courses, but you'd like to upgrade it to purchase the whole CPD bundle, get in touch with me BEFORE purchasing and I will be able to offer a reduced fee.

Still not sure which option to choose?

Do you want to know about bulk sign-ups and private cohorts for your team?

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! :)

Anonymous 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 - New Graduate Occupational Therapist


I highly recommend Clare Batkin, known as 'Your OT Tutor,' for her outstanding commitment to the OT community in Australia. Through newsletters, webinars, and a journal club, she expertly supports OTs of all levels and also supports those who employ them. Clare's dedication to facilitating growth in skills and knowledge is unparalleled, reflected in her mission to 'help occupational therapists to LEARN, GROW, and EXCEL.' Her expertise in how to best support OT students during placements in almost unparalleled in Australia. Equally impressive is her generosity with her time, connecting people to resources and individuals that can further their careers. Clare is indeed a vital asset to our profession.

Dave Jereb - Occupational Therapist and owner - MoveAbout Therapy Services


Clare possesses exceptional knowledge and expertise in this field, along with a deep understanding of NDIS guidelines and regulations. 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. Clare demonstrates excellent organizational skills, ensuring that training materials are up-to-date and staying informed about the latest developments in FCA practices. She is dedicated to providing accurate and relevant information to clinicians. 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 Ebenezer - Occupational Therapy Practice Owner - Guided Support Services

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.
