What Is Assessment & Evaluation?
Assessment and Evaluation is the foundation of effective therapy. Our occupational therapists conduct comprehensive assessments to identify your strengths, challenges, and functional goals — giving us the clear picture needed to plan the right intervention from the start. Assessments are standardised, evidence-based, and tailored to your age and presentation.
- Functional and daily living assessments
- Individualised goal setting
- Progress monitoring and reporting
- Standardised and observational assessment tools
- NDIS-compatible reports and documentation
Types of Assessment We Offer
We offer a broad range of assessments across functional, cognitive, sensory, and environmental domains — covering all areas that impact daily life.
Evaluates your ability to perform everyday activities including self-care, mobility, household tasks, and community participation — often required for NDIS planning.
Identifies how the nervous system processes sensory input and how this affects behaviour, attention, and daily functioning — informing therapy and environmental strategies.
Assesses memory, attention, planning, and problem-solving skills — commonly used following acquired brain injury, stroke, or for individuals with ADHD or intellectual disability.
Evaluates the safety, accessibility, and suitability of your home environment — forming the basis for home modification recommendations.
Determines the most appropriate assistive devices and equipment to support independence — required for NDIS mid-to-high cost AT funding approval.
The Assessment Process
A structured, transparent process from first contact through to a completed report and therapy plan.
Initial Consultation
We discuss your referral, background history, and current concerns to determine which assessments are most appropriate for your situation and goals.
Standardised Assessment
Using validated, evidence-based tools, we assess the relevant functional areas. This may include clinical observation, structured tasks, questionnaires, and home or community visits.
Goal Setting
Together with you, your family, and any relevant support team members, we identify meaningful therapy goals based on assessment findings and your priorities.
Report & Recommendations
A comprehensive written report is provided — summarising findings, goals, and recommendations. Reports meet NDIS documentation standards and can be shared with your support coordinator, GP, or school.
What You Receive
Every assessment results in clear, actionable documentation you can use across your care team and NDIS plan.
Comprehensive Assessment Report
A detailed written report covering findings, functional profile, and clinical reasoning — suitable for NDIS, schools, and medical teams.
Individualised Goal Plan
Clearly defined therapy goals developed collaboratively, with measurable outcomes and a recommended intervention pathway.
NDIS-Ready Documentation
Reports formatted to meet NDIS requirements — including functional capacity assessments for plan reviews and AT justification letters.
Progress Monitoring Framework
Baseline data captured during assessment enables structured progress tracking over the course of your therapy programme.
