Functional Capacity Assessments

Functional Capacity Assessments (FCAs) under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) in Australia are specialised evaluations conducted to assess an individual's functional abilities, limitations, and support needs. These assessments are crucial in determining a participant's eligibility for NDIS support and in developing their individualized support plan.

The primary goal of Functional Capacity Assessments is to gather comprehensive information about an individual's functional abilities across various domains such as mobility, communication, self-care, social interaction, and cognitive functioning.
