Functional Capacity AssessmentS & Medicolegal
Comprehensive, evidence-based assessments that provide clarity, support informed decision-making and drive meaningful outcomes.
Functional Capacity Assessments & Medicolegal
At Kube Therapy Co., we provide comprehensive Functional Capacity Assessments (FCAs) and Medicolegal Occupational Therapy assessments for individuals with disability, neurological conditions and complex support needs.
We evaluate how a person's condition impacts their ability to function in everyday life, identify current and future support needs, and provide independent, evidence-based recommendations that assist participants, families, insurers and decision-makers to make informed decisions.
Every assessment is objective, thorough and tailored to the individual's circumstances, ensuring recommendations are practical, clinically justified and supported by contemporary evidence.
Functional Capacity Assessments
A Functional Capacity Assessment provides a comprehensive evaluation of a person's physical, cognitive, sensory, psychosocial and functional abilities.
Using standardised assessments, clinical observation and information gathered from the individual and their support network, we develop a detailed understanding of how disability impacts everyday life across all environments.
Our reports provide clear recommendations that support:
- NDIS access and eligibility
- Plan reviews and reassessments
- Home and Living Eligibility
- Change of circumstances applications
- Support coordination and service planning
- Capacity building interventions
- Informal and formal support requirements
- Future planning and goal development
Every recommendation is linked directly to functional need, participation outcomes and the principles of reasonable and necessary supports.
Medicolegal Occupational Therapy Assessments
Our Senior Occupational Therapists provide independent medicolegal assessments for solicitors, insurers and third-party organisations.
These assessments objectively evaluate how injury or disability affects a person's functional capacity, independence and future care requirements.
Reports are prepared with careful consideration of the referral questions and are supported by comprehensive clinical reasoning, objective assessment findings and relevant evidence. We understand the importance of producing reports that are balanced, defensible and capable of withstanding external scrutiny.
Our medicolegal services may include:
- Functional capacity evaluations
- Future care and support needs assessments
- Activities of daily living assessments
- Domestic and attendant care assessments
- Vocational and functional impact assessments
- Expert opinion reports
- Independent Occupational Therapy assessments
