An Adult Functional Capacity Assessment is a comprehensive assessment that looks at how a person manages everyday activities. It assesses strengths, support needs, and the impact of disability on daily functioning to inform NDIS planning and supports.
An FCA is suitable for adults who are applying for the NDIS, undergoing a plan review, or experiencing changes in their functional capacity that impact daily life.
An FCA typically assesses areas such as self-care, mobility, communication, social interaction, learning, decision-making, and community participation, aligned with NDIS functional domains.
Functional Capacity Assessments are completed by qualified allied health professionals, most commonly occupational therapists, using standardised tools and clinical observation.
The assessment may include interviews, observation of daily tasks, standardised assessments, and review of relevant background information to gain a clear picture of everyday functioning.
An FCA can take place in the clinic, at home, in the community, or across multiple environments to ensure an accurate understanding of functional capacity.
The assessment process usually occurs over multiple sessions and includes assessment time, scoring, report writing, and feedback. Timeframes vary depending on individual needs.
