Plan around an Adelaide visit block
Visits and availability
Adelaide appointments are scheduled alongside our South Australian visit blocks—not from a continuously staffed Adelaide clinic. Send your suburb, preferred appointment setting and any deadline; we confirm the next practical face-to-face opportunity and travel arrangements before booking.
What to tell us
For an apartment, older home or Hills property, describe access arrangements that affect a visit. Existing reports and input from your local supports help focus the assessment; they do not replace observations or measurements that need to be completed in person.
What can happen online
Suitable initial interviews, document review and support-team discussions may begin online before a visit. Equipment trials and detailed home measurements are planned separately where needed, with follow-ups by Telehealth when appropriate.
Choose the assessment question, not just the report name
An FCA covers everyday function; SIL/support needs looks more closely at assistance across home routines and overnight; SDA focuses on specialist accommodation needs. Equipment trials and home modifications may need a different assessment scope. A report provides evidence, not a guarantee of NDIS funding.
FCA $2,909.85 · 15 hoursSIL/support needs $4,849.75 · 25 hoursSDA $5,819.70 · 30 hours
These are total assessment-and-report package hours, not appointment-only time. We confirm scope, funding and any travel arrangements before starting. FCA reports are returned within 10 business days of the final appointment and receipt of the required information. We respond to enquiries and referrals within two business days; that is not a promise of an appointment within two days.
Local, mobile, thorough
An NDIS FCA in Adelaide, done where you live
A Functional Capacity Assessment is only as strong as the evidence behind it — and the strongest evidence comes from seeing how life actually works. Our Adelaide FCA service is fully mobile: we assess in your home and in the local community spaces you use every day.
Adelaide's housing tells a story — character villas and bungalows with steps and narrow hallways, 1960s brick homes across the suburbs, apartments through the inner city, and Hills properties on sloping blocks. With regular Riverland visit blocks, Adelaide appointments are easy to schedule, and an OT who understands SA housing writes reports the NDIA can act on.
Ask about FCA, SIL/support needs, SDA, assistive technology or home modification assessment. We confirm which services, appointment formats and regional visit arrangements are suitable for your needs before booking.

The local advantage
Why an SA-aware OT matters for your FCA
We come to you
No crossing the city to a clinic. Assessment happens in your home or community — wherever your functional capacity is most honestly shown.
We understand SA housing
Character homes with steps, post-war brick, units without lifts and sloping Hills blocks all shape access, safety and support needs — and we document them in SIL, SDA and home modification evidence.
Your team, involved
We work alongside your support coordinator, plan manager and other therapists — because decisions made with your whole support network are the ones that hold up at review.
Reports built for the NDIA
Every report maps your functional needs to NDIS funding categories in language planners recognise — supporting plan reviews, change of circumstances, SIL, SDA and assistive technology requests.
