Verified reviews from NDIS participants and families
High-quality, structured, evidence-based NDIS FCAs for adults and children — anywhere in Australia. Every report personally written by Nisha Bal, Principal OT with 15+ years experience.
Six layers of information, brought together by clinical reasoning. Not a quick chat, but a thorough assessment designed to understand real daily life.
Completed before the appointment, in your own time.
NDIS plans, reports, letters and school information.
WHODAS 2.0, COPM, PHQ-9, GAD-7, Katz ADL and others.
Around 60 minutes via telehealth, focused on real daily function.
Patterns of function across the whole week, not one appointment.
Clear, NDIS-aware, personally signed off by Nisha.
A good FCA is not just what can be seen in one appointment. It is what is understood by looking carefully at patterns across daily routines, supports, fatigue, risk and harder days.
What to expect from first contact to a completed, NDIS-ready report.
Fill in the contact form and we get back to you within one business day. We confirm whether we are the right fit before you commit to anything. If telehealth is not appropriate for your needs, we will say so clearly.
A structured online form capturing your background, goals and daily functioning, completed at your own pace from home, with help from a support person if needed. One of the most clinically important parts of the process — the more fully it is completed, the richer the report.
Nisha selects the most relevant internationally validated tools based on your intake — WHODAS 2.0, COPM, PHQ-9, GAD-7, Katz ADL, Lawton iADL and others as appropriate.
An in-depth interview via secure video or phone, usually 60 minutes. We ask about daily routines, safety, functional variability, informal carer support, harder days, and what happens when support is not available. No travel, no clinic.
Nisha writes and signs off every report, integrating the interview, validated results and supporting documents into a comprehensive, planner-ready FCA in clear, NDIS-aware language, linked to s.24 and s.34 of the NDIS Act.
A Seeds OT FCA report is not a template. It is a clinically reasoned document that explains your functional reality — clearly enough for planners, reviewers, therapists and families to understand and act on.
Self-care, domestic tasks, mobility, communication, cognition, emotional regulation, community access and safety — tailored to the individual.
What happens when support is not available — one of the most important and often missing sections of a report.
What family currently provide, whether it is sustainable, and what would happen if it reduced.
Scores from WHODAS 2.0, COPM, PHQ-9, GAD-7 and other tools relevant to the situation.
Support recommendations connected to specific functional evidence, aligned to s.24 and s.34 of the NDIS Act.
Specific, measurable goals that allow progress to be tracked at the next review.
Fees published upfront. No hidden costs. No referral required. Self-managed and plan-managed NDIS participants welcome.
Seeds OT is an independent practice, owned and run by an occupational therapist. There are no corporate shareholders, no franchise fees, and no management layers to fund. Every dollar goes directly into clinical work — that is how we keep fees at the NDIS rate without compromising on quality or depth.
If you are unsure whether we are the right fit, contact us — we will tell you honestly before you commit to anything.
Adults and children applying for the NDIS who need clear clinical evidence of how disability affects everyday life.
Participants whose needs have changed and require updated functional evidence for a review.
Neurodivergence, mental health, chronic illness, physical disability — individually or in combination.
Assessment adapted to age and developmental stage, with input from parents, carers and schools.
A clear picture of the informal support already being provided — and whether it is sustainable.
Reports written to NDIS criteria, linked to functional domains, designed to support planning conversations directly.
Every FCA at Seeds OT is personally reviewed and signed off by Nisha. Interviews are conducted by experienced OTs within the Seeds team, but Nisha selects the assessment tools, completes the clinical reasoning, and writes the final report for every case — without exception. Her clinical background covers neurodivergence, psychosocial disability, chronic illness and physical conditions, across adults and children.
