The single most influential piece of evidence in an NDIS plan.
A Functional Capacity Assessment (FCA) is a structured clinical evaluation that documents how a person’s disability affects their everyday functioning across the eight NDIS functional domains — self-care, mobility, communication, social interaction, learning, self-management, community participation and domestic life.
The NDIA does not fund a diagnosis; it funds the functional impact of disability. A well-written FCA is what turns lived experience into the structured evidence required for plan reviews, SIL applications, SDA applications, ILO funding and high-cost Assistive Technology.
FCA Reports Australia exists to make this evidence faster, clearer and more accessible — without compromising on clinical depth.
