Sometimes when you're feeling lost in a complex caseload, the answer does not lie in more cheat sheets for funding bodies.
The answer also isn't just going along to more webinars to learn more 'stuff', without actually knowing how to take it to the next step and implement it in your every day practice.
The answer is to go back to core OT skills, so you gather the right information, feel confident in your reasoning, and have a step-by-step action plan for making it easier next time.
This CPD bundle will be helpful for you if you're nodding along to these scenarios...
You're in a clinical role where you're expected to "just know" core OT skills, but the reality is, you don't. Maybe you didn't have a supervisor who could unpack the clinical reasoning behind skills like AT prescription and home assessments in a way you could understand. Or maybe you haven't had exposure to these things at all!
You can understand the theory and can explain individual components of an assessment, but as soon as the client's presentation is a little more complex, or differs significantly from the last time you needed to do a self-care assessment or manage a pressure injury risk, you have SERIOUS doubts about what to do next.
You're trying to write an FCA report, but you have no confidence in what you're recommending or why. It's not because you need more NDIS tips; it's because you need to gather more information in the right way, so you have the evidence to guide what to do next.
A referrer asks you for your recommendations regarding how many hours of OT will be needed to prescribe a new recliner chair, or to setup a therapy program that involves a homework component with a support worker, but you have no idea what goes into doing these things, so how can you possibly now how long it should take!?
Your supervisor says you need to improve your ability to explain your reasoning or to ask more specific questions in your supervision sessions, but you don't know what you don't know, and communication has always been a challenge for you, so this request seems impossible.
If any of these scenarios feel familiar to you, this CPD bundle will help!
Introducing...
Who is this CPD Bundle for?
This bundle is designed for OTs who want clear, structured processes for core skills so they can feel completely confident in the clinical reasoning behind their decisions.
It is perfect for:
OT Students and New Graduates who want to bridge the massive gap between what they learned at university and what is actually required in everyday practice.
Experienced OTs who are completely new to working with adult physical caseloads (or are returning after a break) and need a reliable, step-by-step refresher on core processes.
Paediatric OTs who are worried about the caseload and job uncertainty that Thriving Kids will introduce, and who want to proactively build their knowledge and skills in working with adults, to give them more options if they’re needed.
Clinical educators and supervisors who want structured, easy-to-understand frameworks to break down common skills for their students or supervisees.
Here's a breakdown of the content
Based on the highly popular 'How to be a Better OT' Podcast, Series 1, this bundle covers 10 common skills OTs will need in a range of different settings.
First up, you get 9 tutorials on these topics:
Hospital Initial Assessments – Learn what questions to ask and how to ask them to quickly get the information you need to form a comprehensive discharge plan.
Providing Effective Client Education – Learn how to deliver impactful, digestible, and client-centred education that leads to meaningful change in your client's lives.
OT Home Assessments – Learn when and why to do them, what you should be looking for in each area of the house, and how to complete the documentation.
Best practice Assistive Technology Prescription – Navigate the essential clinical steps of selecting, trialling, and justifying standard equipment to improve your client's safety and function.
Non-standardised Functional Cognitive Assessments – Learn how to go beyond a pen-and-paper screening tool to assess and document your client's cognitive abilities in everyday activities.
Introduction to pressure care management – Identify risk factors, conduct assessments, and implement practical preventative strategies involving equipment and education.
Clear and Confident Clinical Handover – Deliver succinct, high-quality handovers to the multidisciplinary team or your supervisor without second-guessing, waffling, or leaving out the important bits!
Self-Care Assessments – Analyse your client's occupational performance in essential ADLs including bathing, dressing, grooming and toileting, to map out realistic goals and support plans.
Working Collaboratively with Support Workers – Develop safe, functional, and highly collaborative therapy programs that support workers can implement effectively between your sessions.
But what about the most POPULAR topic of the podcast series - How to do a Functional Capacity Assessment!?
It hasn't been forgotten! As a special bonus, you can access more than a tutorial. You get access to the stand-alone online course, The OT FCA Quick Guide (normally valued at $99), that comes with a clear step-by-step process and downloadable resources.
But wait, there's more! Keep scrolling to see what extra bonuses I've included for you!

You'll also get long-term access for 2 years, so you can come back and revisit the content whenever you want. If I update the content during that time, you'll get free access to the upgrades!
Here's some examples of what you will get:
Video presentations - between 30 - 75 minutes per tutorial (most around 60 minutes long)
PowerPoint slides - add your own notes too
Full transcripts - read along and highlight to minimise the need to write your own notes
Clinical reasoning guides that prompt you to ask the right questions, so you understand the WHY behind what you're doing
Flowcharts - see the process in a step-by-step way
Documentation examples

NB: Not all tutorials will come with all features, but there will be plenty to help you learn!

Do you have a question about the Skills for OTs Essential Bundle?
How long will I have access to the course content for?
You receive unlimited access to all bundle content for a whopping 2 years from your purchase date. This includes free access to any updates made to the resources during that time!
Who will find this CPD bundle helpful?
This bundle is ideal for occupational therapists working in a range of different caseloads, but it will be especially relevant to those working with adult and older adult clients, in community, outpatient or inpatient settings. The content is pitched at a level that is appropriate for OT students and new graduates, but more experienced OTs will still take away new learning if they are feeling a bit rusty with these core OT skills. It would be great clinical placement prep for students, or as part of a new grad onboarding program for caseloads involving working with adults with physical impairments especially.
Can I share my course access with somebody else?
No, purchase is for one person only. If you have multiple staff members you would like to sign up, please get in contact to ask about corporate bundles and discounts.
Is this content different to what is in the Connector or Alliance CPD memberships?
No, all of this content can be found in the Alliance membership, while everything except the OT FCA Quick Guide is also part of the Connector membership. If you’re currently a member and planning to stay a member for a while, there’s no need to purchase this bundle – you have it already! But if you are planning to leave the membership, this is a way to keep long-term access to some key content at a low price.
Will this course teach me everything I need to know about these core OT skills?
This CPD bundle is a fantastic starting point, but it cannot teach you everything you need to know. Learning new skills requires a combination of self-directed learning, supervision, and report reviews. It is highly recommended you discuss the content and how it applies to your clients with a supervisor when you are first developing these skills.

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! :)
Anonymous Occupational Therapist
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 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.
