A LITTLE MORE INFO FOR YOU...

Report review services

Do you sometimes spend hours second guessing yourself or rewriting sections of your report?

Do your recommendations get declined because there "isn't enough evidence" but you're feeling lost with what you could add or write differently?

Having another set of eyes on your report can help!

Draw on Clare's experience completing medicolegal NDIA reports to write the best report possible so you can be confident in the recommendations you are making and that there is enough evidence to support them.

Send a de-identified report or template and receive written feedback or come along to an online supervision session to discuss Clare's suggestions for how you can improve.

Group supervision services

One-on-one formal supervision sessions are essential for all clinicians, especially those working within the complexity of the NDIS. But supplementing individual sessions with group supervisions can take you or your staff member's learning to the next level.

Clare can facilitate ad hoc or regular group supervision sessions for your OT team.

Choose from sessions focused on a specific topic or have each clinician bring a client or case scenario to discuss (case conference style).

Regular sessions will allow clinicians to become aware of scenarios they may not have come across in their own caseload, enhancing their ability to manage it when they do.

It can also help clinicians become more aware of what other OTs are working on and where their strengths are, so they feel more comfortable reaching out to each other for support when they come across something difficult in their caseload.

Once established, you can continue regular facilitated sessions with Clare, or continue in-house as a regular case conference session.

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


I highly recommend Clare Batkin, known as 'Your OT Tutor,' for her outstanding commitment to the OT community in Australia. 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.' 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

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 Occupational Therapist

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.

Natalie J. - Occupational Therapy Practice Owner


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. 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.
