What it covers
What a functional capacity assessment looks at
An assessment is shaped around the person and the questions that need answering. Within the clinician's scope, it can look at:
Everyday activities
How a person manages daily tasks such as self-care, meal preparation, household tasks, moving around and getting out into the community.
Support needs
The kind of support that may help day to day, and how much support is needed for the activities that matter to the person.
Goals and current documents
What the person wants to work towards, plus any reports, plans or referrals already in place that can inform the assessment.
Everyday activities and support needs sit at the centre of the assessment, and the report is written so the people involved can understand the picture.

Questions
Caloundra functional capacity assessment questions
It may be. A functional capacity assessment can help when there are questions about everyday activities, support needs or the type of support that could help. The team checks suitability with you before anything is booked.
It is shaped around the person and the questions that need answering, and stays within the clinician's scope. It can cover everyday activities such as self-care, household tasks and getting around, plus the support that may be needed day to day.
The report sets out what was assessed, the findings, the support needs identified and the recommendations within the assessed scope. The team confirms what the report will include before the assessment is booked.
Fees depend on the assessment scope and the funding pathway. Tell the team your funding type in the enquiry and they will explain the relevant fees before an assessment is booked.
No. Funding decisions sit with the scheme or funder, not Avanti, so we cannot promise an outcome. An assessment provides information that the people making those decisions can consider.
People may use NDIS, Medicare, DVA, WorkCover, aged-care funding or private funds, depending on the situation. Tell the team what you have and they will confirm what applies.
