What Is a Functional Capacity Assessment for the NDIS?
A functional capacity assessment is a comprehensive evaluation conducted by a qualified occupational therapist to understand how a person’s disability impacts their ability to perform everyday activities. The report identifies support needs and outlines recommendations to help participants achieve their NDIS goals.2
Our reports are designed to meet NDIA standards and improve the likelihood of securing appropriate funding and support.
These assessments are used to
Support NDIS access requests
Request plan reviews or plan reassessments
Justify funding for assistive technology, home modifications, or support workers

What Our Clients Say
The report was detailed, professional, and really made a difference to our plan review.
 We were struggling to get the right level of support for our 8-year-old son who has autism. After working with your OT, we received funding for therapy, assistive tech, and support coordination. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome.
I finally got the mobility support I needed
The OT understood exactly what I was dealing with. The assessment captured everything clearly, and I now have a new wheelchair and extra help at home. Thank you for making the process so smooth.
Professional, friendly, and NDIS-ready
 I’ve dealt with a few providers before, but this was by far the most professional experience. The report was written specifically for the NDIA, and my support coordinator was impressed. Everything was explained clearly and delivered on time.
Helped me with my NDIS access application
 I wasn’t sure how to start my NDIS application, but the team helped with everything. The assessment was thorough, and the report gave strong evidence about my daily challenges. I got approved not long after.
The telehealth assessment worked really well
 Living in a regional area, I wasn’t sure how it would go, but the telehealth session was just as good as face-to-face. The OT was patient, kind, and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend for anyone who can’t travel easily.
Got extra support hours and home modifications approved
 The functional capacity assessment helped us get more core supports and funding to install grab rails and a ramp at home. I feel safer and more confident now. Very grateful for the support.
