It is an occupational therapy assessment that documents how a disability or health condition affects your everyday functioning. The written report can be used as functional evidence to support applications or reviews that ask for this kind of information.

The report describes your functional strengths and the impact of your condition on daily activities. It can support processes that require evidence of how a disability affects daily life. Any decision about a payment or benefit is made by the relevant agency, not by us.

People who have been asked to provide functional evidence about how their disability affects daily living may find this assessment helpful. It can be useful where an organisation requires an occupational therapy report as part of their process.

Your occupational therapist talks with you about your daily life and how your condition affects everyday tasks, and may use standardised tools and observation. They then prepare a clear, evidence based report.

No. The assessment provides professional, evidence based information about your functioning, but decisions about eligibility, claims or payments are made by the relevant government agency such as Services Australia, based on their own criteria. We recommend checking the specific requirements that apply to your situation.

Your assessment is completed by a registered occupational therapist who is qualified to assess everyday functioning. Occupational therapists are registered with the Occupational Therapy Board of Australia through AHPRA.

This assessment is usually completed across one or more sessions, followed by a written report. Timeframes vary with your needs and the type of evidence required, so we confirm what to expect when you book.

You can arrange an assessment by contacting Youcentric Care Group directly, or by asking your support coordinator, GP or allied health professional to send a referral. Call 1300 316 664 or email [email protected] and our team will guide you through the next steps.
