A Functional Capacity Assessment or FCA - as per NDIS guidelines - is an evaluation that examines each participant’s abilities and limitations in performing everyday tasks or activities. This assessment aims to understand how a person's disability impacts their functioning across various areas of life, such as self-care, mobility, cognitive skills, communication, and social interaction.

An FCA typically involves observations, standardised tests, and interviews with the participant, their parents and caregivers, and relevant professionals such as other medical and allied health professional, and educators.
An FCA is a valuable document that provides detailed information about the participant’s strengths, challenges, and determine the level of assistance and services they need to enhance their independence and participation in daily activities.

An FCA serves as a crucial tool in the NDIS process, guiding the development of individualised support plans and ensuring that each participant and their families receive the necessary support to achieve their goals and enjoy fulfilling lives.

Our first meeting is a crucial part of the OT services delivery as we discuss your child's strengths and areas where therapy support is required and therapy goals and/or priorities often emerge.

It is important to note the length of the initial meeting can vary depending on you child’s needs and where you are in your therapy journey.

Following our initial meeting, therapy sessions are conducted in environments favourable to achieving your child’s therapeutic goals to optimise the effectiveness of therapy. Sessions are also tailored to your child’s strengths and needs.

We are a mobile therapy service provider which means we are flexible and ready to deliver sessions in diverse locations including home, school, childcare facilities, or other relevant venues aligned with your availabilty and your therapy objectives.
