Functional Assessment — Telehealth (Australia-wide)

The same comprehensive functional capacity assessment, delivered by video — available to participants anywhere in Australia

Our telehealth functional assessments use the same standardised assessment tools, structured interviews, and clinical process as our in-person assessments — delivered remotely, so participants outside Ballarat, or anyone who prefers not to travel, can access the same evidence-based assessment.

What This Assessment Covers

  • Daily Living Skills — personal care, routines, household management, nutrition, and safety

  • Community Participation — navigating community environments and engaging in meaningful activities

  • Social Functioning — communication, relationship development, and social participation

  • Executive Functioning — organisation, planning, problem-solving, and task management

  • Independent Living — current and future capacity for self-directed living

  • Health Self-Management — capacity to manage one's own health affairs

How It Works

  • Clinician-led, family-informed — an initial video consultation with the participant and their loved ones identifies what matters most, shaping the focus of the assessment

  • Delivered via telehealth, Australia-wide — structured interviews, guided assessment activities, and standardised tools adapted for remote administration are conducted over video, so families anywhere in Australia can take part

  • A report you can actually use — findings are compiled into the same comprehensive written report as our in-person assessment — covering functional strengths, support needs, and evidence-based recommendations, suitable for NDIS plan reviews, education inclusion plans, and DSP applications
