Enhance Independence with Functional Capacity Assessments

Occupational Therapy Functional Capacity Assessments are a vital resource for individuals with disabilities, helping them access the support and services they need to lead more independent, fulfilling lives.

At One 3 Care, our skilled occupational therapists conduct thorough assessments to evaluate how a condition impacts daily activities and identify the specific support required to improve functionality and quality of life. These functional capacity assessments play a crucial role in guiding the implementation of effective supports and securing necessary funding, especially for NDIS participants.

Our comprehensive assessments are used to determine eligibility for the NDIS and to assess the care and support needs of participants. We provide functional capacity assessments to assist with NDIS Plan Reviews and support new applications, ensuring that each client receives the right resources for their individual situation.

We take a collaborative, client-centered and trauma informed approach, working closely with allied health professionals, family members, caregivers, and support staff to develop a holistic plan that promotes safety, capacity, and independence. We recognize that every person is unique, with their own strengths, challenges, and aspirations. Our mission is to support you on your journey, offering expert guidance, tailored solutions, and the resources needed to help you achieve greater independence and enhance your overall quality of life.

Your well-being is our top priority, and we are here to help you every step of the way.
