OT Functional Assessments

Vereve OT’s functional assessments in Greater Sydney help you access the supports you need to live safely, independently, and confidently. A functional assessment looks closely at your daily tasks, abilities, and the impact of any physical, cognitive, or mental health changes. Your therapist will gather information about what you can do, where you might need assistance, and how supports can be structured to meet your goals.

We work collaboratively with allied health professionals, family, carers, and support staff to provide a complete picture of your needs. Recommendations are practical, tailored to your environment, and designed to improve your capacity, safety, and independence.

When an OT functional assessment can help

An OT functional assessment is useful in situations where you need evidence of your functional needs. This can include preparing for plan reviews or responding to changes in your circumstances that may require different supports. You might also use an assessment at the start of your NDIS journey to help guide the implementation of your funding, or to access supports such as Supported Independent Living (SIL), Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA), or Individual Living Options (ILO).

We can help with:

  • Evidence for NDIS access or plan review
  • Changes in functional abilities or circumstances
  • Planning and implementing NDIS funding
  • Accessing SIL, SDA, or ILO supports

What an OT functional assessment involves

A comprehensive NDIS functional assessment takes place where you live, work, or participate in your community. Your therapist will observe daily tasks, evaluate your abilities, and identify where you may need support. We use standardised assessment tools and collaborate with carers, support staff, and other health professionals to ensure your assessment captures the full picture of your routines. Reports are clear and thorough, highlighting your functional strengths, support needs, and practical recommendations for building capacity.

We can help with:

  • Assessment in your home, workplace, or community
  • Observation of daily living tasks and support needs
  • Collaboration with carers and other health professionals
  • Clear, practical reporting

How an OT functional assessment can help you

An OT functional assessment can make a real difference in your day-to-day life. It identifies ways to improve safety and mobility, introduces products or services that make your daily tasks easier, and highlights opportunities for skill development in routines, like cooking, cleaning, or personal care. Assessments also provide the evidence you need to access funding or support resources to enhance your independence and quality of life.

We can help with:

  • Increasing safety and mobility
  • Identifying helpful products and services
  • Finding opportunities to improve daily living skills
  • Gathering evidence for support and funding

OT functional assessment costs

The cost of an OT functional assessment varies depending on your needs and the complexity of your situation. Your therapist will discuss your requirements and provide a clear quote based on your circumstances, making sure you understand what’s involved before the assessment begins.
