Functional Capacity Assessments
At Believe In U, we provide comprehensive Functional Capacity Assessments (FCAs) to help individuals with psychosocial disabilities access the support they need through the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).
We offer a supportive, respectful process — with flexible online appointments and no waitlist.
Our Approach to Functional Capacity Assessments

Step 1
Initial Clinical Information/Background Session (or parent session for children)
This session allows your psychologist to learn more about your personal background, mental health history, daily challenges, and support needs. For children, we meet with parents or guardians to gather a detailed understanding of the child’s development and functioning.

Feedback Session (optional)
Once your report is complete, you’re welcome to book a feedback session with your psychologist to review the findings together. This gives you a chance to ask questions, clarify anything, and ensure you're confident in the next steps.
