Psychosocial Functional Assessment

NDIS Psychosocial Functional Capacity Assessment

Recovery-oriented Functional Capacity Assessments for participants with psychosocial disability — episodic functioning captured properly.

Why choose us

  • Episodic functioning captured across good and unwell periods
  • Recovery-oriented and trauma-informed framing
  • Aligned with the PIRS, LSP-16 and HoNOS where appropriate
  • Evidence for recovery coaching, capacity building and complex SIL

Psychosocial disability presents unique evidentiary challenges in the NDIS. Functioning fluctuates, episodic deterioration is common, and standard fixed-point assessments often dramatically underestimate true support needs. Our psychosocial FCAs are designed specifically for this complexity.

Why Standard FCAs Fail Psychosocial Participants

A point-in-time assessment performed on a ‘good day’ can fundamentally misrepresent the lived experience of episodic mental illness. Our psychosocial framework explicitly captures functioning during periods of acuity, recovery and stability, and weights the evidence accordingly.
