Common Questions

A functional capacity assessment is used to evaluate how a person’s disability impacts their ability to complete everyday tasks. The resulting occupational therapy report can be used to support NDIS access, plan reviews, requests for increased supports, or to justify funding for assistive technology, home modifications, and support workers.

The entire process—from the initial consultation to the delivery of the final report—typically takes a few weeks. This includes interviews, assessments, report writing, and internal review. If you have a time-sensitive request (e.g. plan review due date), let us know and we’ll do our best to prioritise your case.

We’ll ask you (or your support person) to share background information such as medical history, current supports, goals, and any existing reports or documentation. During the assessment, we’ll also ask about your daily routines, challenges, and what kind of supports you may need.
