Functional Capacity Assessment for NDIS participants ensure that they have the right level of support and funding to achieve their goals.

Your Occupational Therapist conducts person centred and comprehensive NDIS Functional Capacity Assessment services. These are provided by an Occupational Therapist under the NDIA at the request of the participant, family member, advocate, Local Area Coordinator (LAC) or other involved party.

A Functional Capacity Evaluation or Assessment can assist with ensuring participants have the right level of support and funding to achieve their goals and needs, so the participant can get more out of life today.

Our approach is to ensure the purpose and scope of the assessment is clear and undertaken in the environment selected by the participant within the timeframe agreed upon.

Your Occupational therapists are trained to ensure they conduct objective assessments using standardised measures where required. Taking into account the individual’s function, supports and their daily living, vocational and community abilities, and aspirations.

Assessments include the initial phone call, face-to-face component, communication with involved parties (where there is consent and a requirement) and a report that is provided to the participant and the NDIA. The process will assist with decisions made regarding the type and level of funding and supports under an NDIS plan.
