Questions
It may be. A functional capacity assessment can help when there are questions about a child or young person's 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 child or young person and the questions that need answering, and stays within the clinician's scope. It can cover everyday activities such as self-care, routines and getting around, plus cognitive and support needs.
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, private funds or another pathway, depending on the situation. Tell the team what you have and they will confirm what applies.
Next step
Share who the assessment is for, the main questions it needs to answer and any funding details, and the team will call you back.
