About the Package

Adult Functional Capacity Assessment (FCA)

Our Functional Capacity Assessments (FCAs) are tailored to each individual. We take the time to understand your needs, ensuring a personalised assessment. Our Functional Capacity Assessment evaluates your capacity to engage in daily activities within the familiar settings of your residence, workplace, and recreational spaces. These assessments encompass an examination of your overall well-being, level of independence, support requirements, mobility, communication skills, self-management abilities, learning aptitude, and self-care capabilities while engaging in various tasks. Your Occupational Therapist will then use the information gathered through this assessment to provide intervention recommendations.
Our Functional Capacity Assessment is unique in that it includes a functional cognitive screen using the BADS (Behavioural Assessment of the Dysexecutive Syndrome). The BADS is specifically designed to evaluate cognitive functioning in a practical, real-world context, ensuring that our assessments are highly relevant to occupational therapy. This package is suitable for NDIS participants who are applying for NDIS funding or who are about to review their current NDIS funding. Results from this assessment cover all domains required for NDIS funding applications, including communication, emotional regulation and behaviour, cognition, self-care and self-management, learning, mobility, and social interactions. We provide questionnaires and scales, such as the Vineland or ABAS, offering deeper insights to support a comprehensive assessment. This package is suitable for participants who have a current diagnosis. This is not a diagnostic assessment.
Assessments used in this package will vary depending on the individual being assessed.
