Functional Capacity Assessments

---

Functional capacity assessments are thorough evaluations conducted by our therapists to assess an individual's ability to perform daily tasks and activities. These assessments help determine the level of support and assistance needed to achieve independence and quality of life. They also serve as baseline assessments for external funding bodies such as the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), Transport Accident Commission (TAC), WorkCover, and others.

Our Approach

At Your Allied Health Care, our therapists take a client-centered approach to functional capacity assessments, tailoring each assessment to meet the unique needs and goals of the individual. Our process includes:

1. Comprehensive Evaluation: Our therapists conduct a comprehensive evaluation of your functional abilities, including mobility, self-care skills, household tasks, work-related activities, and community participation. We assess your physical, cognitive, and psychosocial functioning to gain a holistic understanding of your capabilities and limitations.
2. Standardised Assessments: We utilize standardised assessment tools and protocols to gather objective data and measure your performance in various areas of function. These assessments provide valuable insights into your strengths, challenges, and areas for improvement, serving as a reliable baseline for future progress monitoring and intervention planning.
3. Goal Setting: Based on the assessment findings and your individual goals and preferences, our occupational therapists collaborate with you to establish personalised goals and priorities. Whether it's improving independence in self-care tasks, returning to work or leisure activities, or enhancing community participation, we work together to create a plan that aligns with your aspirations.
4. Care Planning: We use the results of the functional capacity assessment to develop a comprehensive care plan that outlines recommended interventions, supports, and services to address your identified needs. This may include assistive devices, home modifications, therapy sessions, and referrals to other healthcare professionals or community resources.
5. Advocacy and Support: Our therapists provide advocacy and support throughout the assessment process, assisting you in navigating the complexities of external funding applications and liaising with relevant stakeholders to ensure your needs are met. We advocate for your rights and preferences, empowering you to access the resources and services you require to achieve your goals.
