Functional Capacity Assessments
A Functional Capacity Assessment (FCA) is an evaluation conducted by healthcare professionals to assess an individual's physical and cognitive abilities, limitations, and functional skills.
A Functional Capacity Assessment aims to determine the person's capacity to perform daily activities independently or with assistance.
In the context of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), a Functional Capacity Assessment is important in determining the support and funding needed for an individual with a disability. It provides objective information about the person's functional abilities, which the NDIS uses to develop tailored support plans and allocate appropriate resources.
By identifying the individual's specific strengths, challenges, and needs, a Functional Capacity Assessment helps ensure that NDIS participants receive the necessary services and support to maximise their independence, well-being, and participation in community life. It informs decision-making processes, facilitates goal setting, and helps ensure that NDIS funding is allocated effectively to meet the individual's goals and aspirations.
FCA Quote Calculator
Use the calculator to receive an estimate for some of our most commonly requested Functional Capacity Assessments. The estimates are based on typical assessment types and pricing and align with the current NDIS price guide.
Your therapist will work closely with you to confirm what is required and explain how hours will be used. Only the hours used will be charged if fewer hours are needed than quoted. If additional time is required to complete a thorough assessment, your therapist will discuss this with you beforehand and seek your agreement before proceeding.
This estimate can be used as a formal quote to share with your plan manager or to help monitor your funding. Final billing will reflect only the hours used, which may be more or less than the original estimate. Any changes will be discussed with you before proceeding.
Support coordinators are also welcome to use this form to request a quote on behalf of a participant.
