Disability & Functional Assessments
Psychological assessments are often needed for purposes beyond clinical treatment - to document how a disability or condition affects daily life, to support access to funding and services, or to provide information for insurance processes.
We provide disability and functional assessments for individuals across the Northern Rivers and via Telehealth.
Types of assessment
Functional capacity assessments - evaluating how a disability or condition affects everyday activities such as self-care, communication, social participation and work
NDIS-related psychological assessments - providing evidence of functional impact to support access requests, plan reviews or changes to support levels
Cognitive and adaptive behaviour assessments - relevant for intellectual disability, acquired brain injury and similar difficulties
Psychological functioning assessments - documenting the nature and impact of psychological conditions for WorkCover, Motor Accident Scheme, insurance or legal purposes
Who these assessments are for
People applying for NDIS access or requesting a plan review
Individuals with acquired brain injury needing documentation of functional change
People with autism, ADHD or other developmental conditions needing formal assessment
People involved in WorkCover or Motor Accident Scheme claims
Individuals referred by treating practitioners or insurance case managers
Reports and coordination
Assessment reports are tailored to their purpose and audience. We work with GPs, occupational therapists, support coordinators and other practitioners to make sure assessments fit into broader care planning.
