What is a functional capacity assessment for the NDIS?
A functional capacity assessment (FCA) is an evaluation, usually carried out by an occupational therapist, of how a disability affects a person’s daily tasks: self-care, mobility, domestic life, communication and community participation. The assessor writes a report linking these findings to specific support needs, which is the evidence the NDIA uses to decide funding for plan reviews and access requests (NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits 2026-27).
How to choose a provider for this service
The list above is ranked using the criteria explained in the methodology section above. Four checks matter most when you compare providers yourself.
Registration. Confirm the assessor, usually an OT but sometimes a physiotherapist, speech pathologist or psychologist, holds current AHPRA registration and, for agency-managed funding, appears on the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission provider register.
Response time. A slow first reply delays your assessment date and any plan review that depends on it. Check the response time by state table further down this page.
Pricing transparency. Ask for a written estimate of total hours against the $193.99 occupational therapy cap in the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits 2026-27, and confirm whether report writing is billed separately.
Coverage. Carevo lists 642 occupational therapists nationally; ask whether the assessor actually services your suburb rather than a neighbouring one.
Which funding pays for a functional capacity assessment, and who qualifies?
Most participants fund an FCA from Capacity Building, Improved Daily Living, at the occupational therapy rate capped at $193.99 an hour (NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits 2026-27). Anyone with an active NDIS plan and Capacity Building funding can request one, typically for a plan review, an access request, or a claim tied to SDA, SIL, assistive technology or home modifications. First-time applicants can instead have the assessment funded under assessment for supports rather than an existing plan budget. Support at Home and CHSP do not fund FCAs; aged care functional needs are assessed separately through the Single Assessment System (Department of Health and Aged Care, 2025).
Availability across Australia
Carevo lists 642 occupational therapists among 4,782 suburbs with provider coverage nationally, with FCA assessors concentrated most heavily in New South Wales and Victoria. If the report needs to support an assistive technology assessment or a first-time NDIS access request, mention this when you enquire so the provider structures the report to match.
