Frequently asked questions

What information do I need to provide?
Any existing medical reports, specialist letters, previous NDIS assessments and therapy reports. We’ll tell you exactly what we need on your free call. Your report is written once we have everything.
Does Medicare or private health cover an FCA?
No, Medicare and private health don’t usually cover an FCA. If you have an NDIS plan, it’s usually funded from your Capacity Building – Improved Daily Living budget. If you don’t have a plan yet, it’s paid privately. We’ll confirm your cost before you book.
Can the report be used for my NDIS plan review?
Yes. Our reports are written for NDIS plan reviews and new applications. They use the language the NDIA uses and set out your support needs clearly.
Do I need a referral?
No. You can contact us directly, or a family member, support coordinator or plan manager can send the enquiry for you.
Will an FCA guarantee more NDIS funding?
No. No assessment can guarantee a funding outcome. An FCA gives the NDIA clear clinical evidence of your needs and how your disability affects daily life. The NDIA makes the final decision.

What your report covers

How your disability affects everyday life
How you manage self-care, mobility, communication, home tasks, getting out in the community, and thinking and memory day to day. We note what you can do, what’s hard and where you need help.
Results from standardised assessments
Scores from recognised assessment tools, alongside what your OT observed during the visit. This gives the NDIA measurable evidence, not just a description.
Your support needs and recommended funding
The supports you need, how often you need them, and which NDIS support categories they fit under. This helps your planner see what belongs in your plan.
Your home and environment
How your home, the people around you and your routine affect what you can do. Seeing you at home adds detail that’s easy to miss otherwise.
Your goals
What you want to achieve, in your own words, linked to the NDIS outcomes your plan is built around.
Work, study and community participation
Your capacity to work, study, volunteer and take part in your community, and the support you’d need to do more of it.
Assistive technology and home modifications
Equipment or changes to your home that would make daily tasks safer or easier, with the reason behind each recommendation.
Clear clinical reasoning in NDIA language
Every recommendation is explained and backed by evidence, written in the language the NDIA uses so your planner can follow it.
