Discover your potential with our Functional Capacity Assessment for independence.

Functional Capacity Assessments aim to evaluate everyday tasks, enhancing independence and identifying functional capabilities for improved functionality and quality of life.

We support NDIS_2020

Purpose

Our Occupational Therapists administer Functional Capacity Assessments to evaluate your functional abilities, identify challenges, and tailor personalised interventions to enhance your independence in daily activities. These assessments also facilitate access to suitable support and NDIS funding to meet your individual goals and needs.

What to expect

Functional Capacity Assessment involves assessments, interviews and observations conducted by our Occupational Therapists, involving communication with all relevant parties. Upon completion, expect a detailed report provided to you, your Support Coordinator and the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA).

FCA Report

The individual will receive a detailed report outlining strengths, challenges, and recommended supports to achieve their NDIS goals and additional funding for other necessary supports.

Who is this for?

Functional Capacity Assessment is beneficial for NDIS participants and individuals seeking NDIS access assistance as it outlines a comprehensive evaluation of their functional abilities. This assessment helps in identifying their strengths and challenges, which in turn informs the development of tailored support plans.

Service area

Our Functional Capacity Assessment services are provided through mobile visits, in-clinic appointments, and telehealth consultations.
