About the Assessment
What does an FCA involve?
A Functional Capacity Assessment (FCA) is a comprehensive evaluation of how a disability or health condition impacts your ability to complete everyday tasks — from personal care and mobility through to work, study and social participation.
Our AHPRA-registered OTs assess you across all key functional domains and produce a thorough, evidence-based report aligned with NDIS planning requirements. The report clearly documents your support needs so planners and the NDIA have the evidence they need to make fair decisions.
