​

Functional Capacity Assessment  - A functional capacity assessment is a review of a person’s functioning in the context of any mental health or psychosocial disabilities to identify what supports they may need to progress towards valued goals and maximise independence. For NDIS participants, Fig Tree Allied Health provide a comprehensive FCA report tailored to the client’s stage within the NDIS process, be it planning, review or appeal stages.

​

Home and Living Assessment - A Home and Living Assessment is a comprehensive review of a person’s functioning, support needs and associated housing requirements for NDIS funding purposes. Recommendations are made that best support a person’s long-term safety, independence and quality of life. This report can be tailored towards Specialised Disability Accommodation (SDA) and/or Independent Living Option (ILO) packages.   

​

**NB: All occupational therapists at Fig Tree Allied Health have extensive experience in assessment, report writing and advocacy, further complemented by their dual roles as advanced occupational therapists and NDIS staff specialists with the Metro North Health Service**

​

Capacity Building - Occupational therapy aims to support people in living meaningful, independent lives. It helps individuals participate in, or return to, everyday activities that matter to them, such as work, study, parenting, social connections, hobbies, and self-care.

Using psychological and recovery-focused approaches, Fig Tree Allied Health can support you to build resilience and independence in the roles and activities that are most important to you. We provide a trauma-informed, evidence-based service, creating a safe and trusting space where you can develop skills to support your wellbeing.
