Who this is for
NDIS participants, families and referrers who need a Functional Capacity Assessment and want to confirm scope, setting and report purpose first.
We confirm whether it is the right service, which funding may apply, where sessions can happen, and what to do next.
- FCA scope and report purpose clarified first
- Existing reports, goals and support context reviewed before booking
- Assessment setting confirmed on enquiry, including when face-to-face is needed
Assessment setting
The setting follows the referral.
Some FCA questions can be worked through from interview, document review, goals, supports and functional history. Others need the clinician with the person, their environment or the equipment in front of them.
Usually needs face to face
Environment, access and equipment
Home access, physical measures and equipment trials usually need face-to-face assessment where possible so the environment can be checked properly.
Send the referral context first. The team confirms whether face-to-face, telehealth or a combination fits before anything is booked. If the referral may suit online assessment, see Online Functional Capacity Assessment (NDIS).
