Functional Capacity Assessments

Aged Care & NDIS OT Assessments that support your goals, funding, and independence.

GC Health Therapy offers detailed, person-centred Functional Capacity Assessments (FCA) for NDIS participants and My Aged Care recipients across the Gold Coast, Brisbane, Ipswich, Logan and Northern NSW.

Our experienced Occupational Therapists complete OT Functional Capacity Assessments in your home environment, where we can better understand your situation and daily life. From there, we provide a clinically sound, easy-to-understand report that advocates for the support and funding you need, now and into the future.

What is a Functional Capacity Assessment?

A FCA is an in-depth Occupational Therapy evaluation that looks at how you manage everyday activities like showering, cooking, getting dressed, or moving around your home.

The goal of an FCA is to determine what support, services or equipment you may need to increase your independence, safety and quality of life. These assessments are often used to:

  • Support NDIS or My Aged Care access or reviews
  • Request additional supports or assistive technology
  • Justify funding for home modifications or therapy services
  • Track progress over time

Standardised & observational testing

We combine observation with evidence-based assessment tools to understand your functional capacity across multiple areas (mobility, self-care, cognition, communication, etc).

Clear, clinically justified reporting

We provide a thorough report that includes professional recommendations and strong clinical justification to support your goals and funding needs.
