What are NDIS Functional Capacity Assessments?
NDIS functional capacity assessment helps measure your ability to perform daily tasks in the places you live, work and play. These assessments look at your well-being, independence, support needs, mobility, communication, self-management, learning and self-care as you carry out these tasks.
As a registered NDIS therapy provider, we provide a detailed functional capacity assessment that aligns with NDIS funding to enhance your goals and improve your quality of life. Conducted by experienced occupational therapists, the insights from this assessment may help you secure funding tailored to your specific needs.
