Frequently Asked Questions
Is a Functional Capacity Assessment covered in my NDIS plan?
Funding for a Functional Capacity Assessment would fall under Capacity Building Supports in your NDIS plan.
What is a Functional Capacity Assessment?
A Functional Capacity Assessment (FCA) is a comprehensive evaluation of a participant's abilities and needs in daily life. Conducted by an Occupational Therapist or Physiotherapist, the assessment covers communication, mobility, self-care, social participation, and engagement in learning and work. Based on the findings, the therapist recommends the level of NDIS support needed to enhance outcomes and achieve personal goals.
To ensure participants receive the right services and support, the NDIS requires a Functional Capacity Assessment every two years to assess baseline function and assist with goal setting.
Can I complete a FCA via telehealth?
Yes! Conducting a Functional Capacity Assessment remotely via telehealth enables clinicians to commence immediately. It also allows them to evaluate clients in various settings without the constraints of travel expenses or coordinating multiple parties for the visit. The clinicians possess extensive expertise in conducting these assessments via telehealth, ensuring comprehensive evaluation of the client's abilities.
What can I expect to happen during a Functional Capacity Assessment?
During a Functional Capacity Assessment (FCA), the Occupational Therapist or Physiotherapist conducts an initial evaluation, asking questions to understand the client’s baseline abilities. They may also perform specific assessments to further support their findings.
