Sarah Collison
Founder of Verve OT Learning
OT Trainer and Presenter
Whether it's an online training workshop, ATSA expo or OTA conference, you will find me chatting about all things NDIS and OT service delivery.
I aim to empower OTs across Australia with the knowledge and insights to navigate the complexities of the NDIS.
2023 OT of the Year
In 2023 I was recognised for my contribution to the allied health sector including training thousands of OTs working in the NDIS, advocating for OT via the OTA NDIS National Reference Group and facilitating the NDIS OT Community of Practice, an online community of over 10,500 NDIS OTs.
Private Practice Owner
As the proud owner of Verve OT, I understand completely the challenges of delivering OT services in the disability sector. As a practicing clinician with an interest in AT, home modifications, SIL and SDA, I share my knowledge and learnings to enable OTs to transform and elevate their OT practice.

OT NDIS Templates
Service Agreement NDIS Template
Service agreements outline the terms of service between you as an OT and your client. This foundational NDIS template includes the responsibilities of both parties, payment terms, support details, complaint processes and termination procedures. It's customisable, so you can add your own branding and adjust specifics, such as travel charges or service duration, to fit your practice.
Functional Assessment Templates
Functional assessments are critical for OTs in the NDIS space – but the NDIS doesn’t provide a standardised template. Our functional assessment template helps you structure your assessments to cover all the details the NDIS requires, from assessment tools to recommendations. We offer templates for all functional assessments, including SDA, SIL and ILO assessments.
Schedule of Support NDIS Template
Used in conjunction with the Service Agreement, a schedule of support specifies the number of hours and costs involved in the services provided.
This formal document is given to participants and family members to ensure they understand the investment required for the services.
Report-Writing Guides
Many of our NDIS templates come with report-writing guides, perfect for anyone unfamiliar with or needing to refresh their knowledge of NDIS reporting requirements.
The guides provide advice on how to complete each section of the template, ensuring your reports are thorough and compliant.
and so much more...
OT Masterclass
Each month, the Inner Circle brings you a new practical OT Masterclass, designed to support your role as an Occupational Therapist.
These sessions are presented by experienced guest OTs who share real-world strategies, tools and insights.
The content applies across a wide range of OT practice areas – not just the NDIS – making it relevant for clinicians in diverse settings.
Join the live session to take part in open discussion, ask questions and learn alongside fellow OTs.
Can’t make it live? No worries! All of the OT Masterclass session recordings are available anytime in the Inner Circle resource hub, so you can catch up when it suits you.
NDIS Monthly Insights
A live session on current NDIS happenings, explainers of new resources and answers to your key questions.
Held at the same time each month, NDIS Monthly Insights will ensure you’re always armed with the latest knowledge and expertise, ready to navigate any changes with confidence.
Each session will cover:
-
Timely updates on NDIS developments, announcements and trends
-
Clarifications and walk-throughs of new NDIS resources we’ve released (e.g. report templates, tools)
-
A chance to ask questions and stay on top of what's most relevant right now
We confirm the specific content a few days prior to each session, so it’s always fresh, current and tailored to what’s happening now in the NDIS.
If in the last week alone you've sat at your desk staring blankly at the screen and thought "what do I do now?" or "who does this get sent to? or "where can I find this information" or "why did the NDIA knock this back?" then yes, this is the right membership for you.
The Inner Circle is all about breaking down the jargon and teasing apart the narrative to help OT's find it super easy to navigate NDIS processes.
Here are some frequently asked questions:
Is this really going to put me on the path for NDIS success?
How is this different to the NDIS Community of Practice group?

How much does it cost and how long do I have to sign up for?
