Functional Capacity Assessment

A Functional Capacity Assessment (FCA) is completed by our Occupational Therapist and Psychologist to better understand your ability to reach your goals. The assessors will spend time understanding your level of functionality, strengths and weaknesses, how you manage your day-to-day tasks, and identify the challenges and gaps that need to be supported for you to reach your daily living goals. This may include physical challenges (e.g., mobility), cognitive challenges (e.g., learning), mental challenges (e.g., mental health diagnoses), and executive functioning challenges to name a few. An FCA will provide recommendations for supports and services that you may find beneficial to meet your goals.

A FCA will take 10-15 hours to complete, including a detailed report. You will be expected to complete an interview, questionnaires, and may engage in observations of skills / living arrangements. The report will outline all areas discussed, analyse the results of questionnaires, and provide detailed recommendations that can be used for support services, setting of goals, and NDIS / government funding.
