What’s a Functional Capacity Assessment and when do I need one?
A Functional Capacity Assessment (FCA) is a detailed evaluation completed by an OT that looks at a person’s overall function in day to day life. OTs then collate this information into a detailed report which can help the NDIS understand what supports you need. It’s often used for first-time plans or major plan reviews where there has been a change in function or support needs.
