Assistance Animal Assessment
Our Occupational Therapist has expertise in OT Assistance Animal assessment report writing and knowledge of the NDIS application process. We have experience with matching functional needs and identifying disability support tasks that an Assistance Animal could perform to help you manage your disability and access the community more independently or effectively. OT Assistance Animal assessments include a comprehensive evaluation of your specific circumstances and address the criteria and evidence -base requirements needed to apply for NDIS funding.

Functional Assessment (Functional Capacity Assessment)
Occupational Therapists use activity analysis to identify functional domains that can influence your performance in activities of daily living (ADLs). We offer comprehensive assessment of your physical, cognitive, sensory, behavioural, and psychosocial abilities, and make recommendations for assistive equipment and capacity building interventions based on your strengths and needs.
Home Environmental and Falls Risk Assessment
We offer comprehensive home assessment for suitability for function, access, environmental controls, assistive aids and equipment, falls risk and home modifications.
Cognitive Assessment
Assessment of cognition can include your ability to concentrate, memory, and executive functioning skills such as planning and organising, problem solving, decision making, reasoning, judgement and insight. Cognitive skills are essential for regulating emotions, managing yourself and others, following routines and instructions; starting, stopping or switching tasks, and performing self care, productivity and leisure tasks.
Adult Sensory Profile Assessment
Humans have 8 sensory systems which include sight, taste, touch, hearing, smell, balance, movement and internal. A Sensory Profile can tell us about any sensory sensitivities, sensory registration, sensory avoidance, sensory seeking and associated behaviours and emotions linked to the way you respond to the environment.
Biopsychosocial Assessment
There are many factors that can influence our health and wellbeing. We explore these factors with you to understand how these previous experiences and current circumstances influence your capacity to do whatever you need to do or would like to do. This may include participation in social, leisure and community activities, or development of self-management skills, daily functioning and routines. These will continue to change throughout a person’s life.
