Functional Capacity Assessments

(All ages)

A Functional Capacity Assessment (FCA) explores how you engage with everyday activities and tasks. They are designed to better understand your unique strengths and any areas where additional support may enhance you daily life.

Why complete a FCA? Understand support needs:
FCA offers valuable insight into how a person’s unique experiences may influence their ability to engage in daily tasks and identify the right supports.

Support NDIS Planning:
FCA reports provide a comprehensive, evidence-based overview of individual strengths and support needs helping NDIS make informed decisions about funding for therapies, home modifications and more.

The Assessment Process

What is a pre-assessment consultation?
This is a 50-80 minute initial consultation which is required prior to all assessments at The Kidd Clinic. This allows the clinician to gather information about the client’s developmental history, discuss the assessment process, and answer any questions that arise.

This appointment allows our assessors to determine the most appropriate (if any) assessment/s and advise you on which assessment pathway to proceed with according to the client’s presentation and needs.

Rebates and referrals?
You do not require a referral to be assessed at The Kidd Clinic, but if you have a referral please send it to assessments@kiddclinic.com.au when you enquire. 

For NDIS participants, contact your plan manager or local area coordinator (LAC) to determine if your plan will provide cover. Please note that only self or plan-managed NDIS funding is eligible for use at The Kidd Clinic. 

Your assessment may be claimed on private health depending on your coverage. Please consult your health insurance provider regarding item number 100 for individual assessment.
