Functional Capacity Assessments

At biio., we understand that living with complex conditions and invisible illnesses can be challenging, especially when seeking the support you deserve. That's why we're proud to introduce our Affordable Functional Capacity Assessment (FCA) service, designed specifically for individuals with conditions such as:

• Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) & Hypermobility Spectrum Disorders (HSD)
• Persistent pain conditions
• Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
• ADHD
• Mental health conditions
• Dysautonomia & POTS

Making Functional Capacity Assessments Accessible

Traditional Functional Capacity Assessments can cost $2,500-$3,000+, placing them out of reach for many who need them most. At biio., we're committed to breaking down barriers to care with our optimised process for more efficient and cost effective FCAs.

We offer two options to meet your needs:

Our Standard FCA is designed for most applicants and provides a thorough assessment in less time than traditional FCAs, making it significantly more affordable, at approx. $1200, while maintaining professional quality. For those with particularly complex circumstances, our Comprehensive FCA offers additional assessment time and support, still at a considerable savings compared to traditional assessments.

Both options use our carefully designed process that maintains professional quality while reducing both cost and time commitment—making the NDIS application process more accessible for those with budget constraints.

Your Assessment Journey

Our efficient process is designed to be thorough and effective:

1. Free 10-15 minute phone consultation to explain the FCA process and determine your suitability
2. Self-report assessment completion prior to your first appointment (reducing billable time)
3. Two clinical sessions (one 45-minute virtual session and one 45-minute in-person session)
4. 30-minute liaison with key supports such as other allied health professionals to assist with your access form
5. Comprehensive report development (3 hours of writing and review with you)
