Functional Capacity Assessments
Functional Capacity Assessments
We assess how disability affects everyday activities and participation, and identify the supports you need.
Who We Assess
Our main assessment areas include:
- Psychosocial disability
- Autism and other neurodevelopmental conditions
- Acquired brain injury
- Intellectual disability
- Cognitive impairments
- Neurological conditions
Your Everyday Function
We consider your strengths, activities and surroundings, including what you want, need or have to do.
We assess whether you can manage activities safely, consistently and sustainably, and what prompting, supervision or assistance you need.
This includes communication, learning, mobility, self-care, self-management and social interaction across home, work, study and community life.
Your Assessment
Assessment includes discussion, relevant observations, existing reports and tools selected for your needs.
With your consent, we include information from people who know and support you to understand how your needs vary across days and settings.
Your Report
Your report explains your functional difficulties and recommends supports, with clear reasons for each recommendation.
For NDIS participants, we consider recognised disabilities, current supports and any gaps. The report provides clinical evidence; the NDIA decides access and funding.
NDIS Access Assessments
We also assess everyday function to support NDIS access applications.
