Who this is for
NDIS participants, families and referrers who need a Functional Capacity Assessment and want to check whether online OT assessment is suitable.
We confirm whether it is the right service, which funding may apply, where sessions can happen, and what to do next.
- NDIS FCA scope and report purpose clarified first
- Existing reports, goals and support context reviewed before booking
- Face-to-face recommended when environment, access or equipment needs must be assessed directly
Telehealth suitability
Online OT is useful when the task fits the setting.
our adult OT guidance is deliberately practical: telehealth can be a strong option for assessments, reports and some ongoing therapy, but it should not be used to shortcut work that needs the clinician in the home or with equipment in front of them.
Often suitable online
Assessments, reports and therapy planning
Functional Capacity Assessments, report writing, plan-review documentation and ongoing therapy can often be considered for telehealth when the referral context, documents and goals fit.
Usually better face to face
Home modifications and equipment trials
Home modifications and equipment prescription usually need face-to-face assessment where possible so the environment can be measured, safety checked and equipment trialled properly.
For FCA enquiries, we check the assessment purpose, current documents and support context before confirming whether online OT assessment is appropriate.

Sometimes. We check the referral context, existing documents and assessment purpose first so the clinician can confirm whether online OT assessment is clinically appropriate.
