Plan a Gold Coast home or community assessment
Visits and availability
Mobile appointments are arranged around your location and current availability. For apartments, tell us about lift access, visitor parking and shared entrances; for hinterland properties, mention access from the road to the home. We confirm the visit and any travel arrangements before booking.
What to tell us
Tell us which everyday activities you want understood, who you would like involved and any plan reassessment deadline. You do not need to tidy your home for an assessment or demonstrate an activity that feels unsafe or uncomfortable.
What can happen online
Telehealth may suit interviews, document review and support-team discussions. Hands-on assessment, detailed measurements and equipment trials may need an in-person appointment—even when other parts happen online.
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 on the Gold Coast, 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. That's why our Gold Coast FCA service is fully mobile: we assess in your home, your neighbourhood and the community spaces you use every day.
The Gold Coast is a unique place to live with disability. Apartment towers with shared entrances, older housing with steps and narrow bathrooms, hinterland blocks with steep driveways, and beachside suburbs built around outdoor living all shape what "functional" looks like for you. A local occupational therapist who knows the Coast captures that context — and it makes a real difference to the quality of your report.
Looking for the full picture of what an FCA involves? Read our guide to NDIS Functional Capacity Assessments, or our guide to choosing an NDIS occupational therapist on the Gold Coast and in the Riverland.

The local advantage
Why a local Gold Coast OT matters for your FCA
We come to you
No clinic visit, no travel stress. Assessment happens in your home and your community — where your functional capacity actually shows itself. That's better evidence, and a much easier day.
We understand Gold Coast housing
From high-rise apartments with lift access to older walk-ups, hinterland acreage and retirement villages — housing on the Coast varies enormously, and it shapes functional capacity. Local context makes for stronger SIL, SDA and home modification evidence.
Community access, assessed in the community
Gold Coast life is beach paths, shopping centres, parks and public transport. Where relevant, we assess real community participation in the places you actually spend time — not a simulated clinic task.
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.
