Tailored Resources and Expert Guidance for NDIS OTs
As an Occupational Therapist with over 20 years of experience, including a decade in the NDIS sector, I understand the unique challenges you face. I see the passionate OT stepping into this field, eager to make a difference but navigating a steep learning curve. I recognise the skilled clinician who is committed to their craft yet finds the intricacies of the NDIS a new frontier to conquer. I appreciate the entrepreneurial spirit of the sole trader OT, balancing independence with the demands of managing payments, claims, and adapting to scheme changes. I see your dedication, your effort, and your determination - and I’m here to support you every step of the way.

Meet Sarah - Your NDIS OT Mentor
Occupational Therapist Sarah Collison founded Verve OT Learning to elevate professional standards within the NDIS sector. Working with a team of highly experienced and regarded Occupational Therapists, Verve OT Learning provides specialised OT training and clinical supervision services, advancing occupational therapy service delivery. Beyond the NDIS, our platform enriches clinical knowledge and experience, empowering clinicians to transform their clients' lives.
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.
Why the Inner Circle?
"I cannot thank Verve OT & Sarah enough, for creating this amazing platform. As an OT with 20years+ experience working in the community, and equally as passionate about making the NDIS work for all of us, it is most welcome to receive this injection of knowledge, reassurance and support. Sarah is so willing to share resources, report templates, to answer the nitty-gritty questions, and to summarise her take on recent updates from others within the sector (the NDIA, ARATA, OT Australia, etc). Being a member of the Inner Circle is well worth the financial investment...I'm going to switch from monthly to annual membership, for sure...I'm in! Being time poor, but also wanting to stay up-to-date and make sure I make the most of any time I spend on PD, upskilling, updating, etc (i.e. wanting my non-billable time to leverage better results from my billable time), I've definitely found the answer in the Inner Circle. Thanks again, Verve OT & Sarah."
Mary-Anne, Director & OT
"Venturing out into private practice is daunting before even considering the added stress of keeping up to date with the NDIS requirements and changes, particularly during this turbulent time. Sarah Collison is well known in the industry for her phenomenal understanding and knowledge of the NDIS and her skill set as an OT. When I stumbled across the Inner Circle subscription, I knew I wanted in. And 3months in, I have certainly not been disappointed; quite the opposite. I have been blown away by the level of support I have received, from access to templates, to NDIS updates, to clinical and business support through the weekly Q & A sessions. I can highly recommend the Inner Circle membership; it is well worth every cent!"
Michelle, Senior OT
"I cannot thank you enough for the time you are spending on the Inner Circle. Just as I was starting to sink into negativity related to the NDIS (OMG, how-long are things taking to be APPROVED?! After initially being declined, first-up, of course!), this has reassured me to "keep going". I have such high hopes for the scheme and that it can make real change for participants, but I also think OT's have a unique role to play within the scheme....not only in keeping it sustainable but ensuring it achieves the outcomes that were/are intended."
Olivia, Director & OT
Is the Inner Circle right for me?
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 other frequently asked questions:
Is this really going to put me on the path for NDIS success?
How much does it cost and how long do I have to sign up for?
How is this different to the NDIS Community of Practice group?
Will I get access to Sarah in the Inner Circle?
Will there be templates I can use in my practice?
I have a question not answered here, is there someone I can speak with?
