Our Pre-NDIS Assessments
Before approving NDIS funding, they will ask for evidence of your disability, some of which may be provided via NDIS assessment or report from an allied health professional.
At Connect2Care, we are registered NDIS providers and have Therapists across a range of disciplines qualified to perform NDIS assessments as part of the application process.
Our NDIS assessment can be used as evidence to support funding needs or NDIS applications, to direct therapy provision, or to find suitable equipment or housing.
Assessments can be completed at home or in our offices. We provide clients and their families with all testing results, including a comprehensive written report, and recommend strategies to assist clients in reaching their goals and becoming more independent.
How to get NDIS Funding
How to get NDIS Funding
According to the NDIS, there are 4.3 million Australians who have a disability. Within the next five years, the NDIS assessment will provide about 500,000 Australians who have a permanent and significant disability with funding for support and services. The NDIS process can be very complex, and it can be confusing for people with a disability who want to find out how to get an NDIS plan.
The NDIS assessment is the eligibility requirements of a person, and then a plan for approved participants is created. Once on a plan, people with a disability will have access to allied health services to improve their well-being and help them live their lives how they want.
At Connect2Care, we can help people with disabilities navigate the NDIS application process through our comprehensive assessments and reports.

The NDIS assessment will ask questions to check if you are eligible to have access to the NDIS.
This assessment is typically only available to people between 7 and 65. However, children younger than 7 with a disability or developmental concerns may be able to get help through their early childhood approach. If you are over 65, you may be able to access other funded supports.
Other requirements include:
- Applicants must be Australian citizens, Permanent Visa holders, or Protected Special Category Visa holders and live in Australia.
- Applicants must need support from a person because of a permanent and significant disability, use special equipment because of a permanent and substantial disability, or need support now to reduce their future needs.
- Applicants must have a reduction in the ability to participate effectively in daily activities or perform tasks without support. Your disability may also affect your social and economic participation.
The NDIS assessment will want to know how your disability impacts your everyday life regarding mobility, communication, self-care, self-management, learning, and social interaction.

Functional Capacity Assessment Pre NDIS
Functional Capacity Assessment Pre NDIS
A Functional Capacity Assessment (FCA) analyses your functional performance in self-care and general day-to-day activities in and around the home. They are designed to ensure people have access to the right level of support and funding to achieve their goals and live more independent lives.
Our Therapists carry out NDIS assessments for participants who are experiencing difficulties in these areas because of neurological, psychosocial, musculoskeletal, congenital and degenerative conditions, spinal cord injury or a traumatic brain injury.
A Functional Capacity Assessment will help to identify and demonstrate to the NDIS the impact of your disability on your day-to-day function and the support you may require to help you achieve your goals and aspirations.
