OT Unplugged: Community of Practice Insights

S6E03 - From Compliance to Chaos: OT Practice Under NDIS Pressure


Listen Later

In this lively and unfiltered episode of OT Unplugged, Sarah, Nikki and Alyce dive deep into the real behind-the-scenes of OT life. From forgotten billing and chaotic clinical loads to dodgy grocery deliveries and what not to do with the NDIS logo. You'll laugh, nod in solidarity, and feel the fire of advocacy as the team navigates everything from hosting students and juggling admin to prepping for what could be a major national NDIS protest in Canberra. They also uncover some critical changes in NDIS branding rules and the disappointing disappearance of key AHPA registration resources. Whether you're buried in clinical notes, prepping for accreditation, or dreaming of blocked-out admin days (that actually stay blocked), this one's for you.

What We Cover:

✅ The "quiche from a box" lifestyle & what it says about OT survival mode

✅ NDIS logo use: what’s changing, what’s allowed, and how one brochure mishap cost a lot of stickers

✅ The silent disappearance of ARPA’s OT registration resources

✅ Burnout, boundaries & billing: why even experienced OTs forget to charge for their time

✅ Kids, clients & chaos: the impossible juggle of modern OT practice

✅ A shout-out to the amazing Samantha Connor and her challenge to Allied Health

✅ Real talk about clinical load creep, admin chaos, and the danger of too many browser tabs

✅ What's coming up in training, workshops & CPD
