Functional Assessments & Reporting
What Is Functional Assessments & Reporting?
Functional Assessments are a key tool in understanding a person’s daily life, strengths, and challenges. At Chrome Health, we use these assessments to identify how disability impacts participation, independence, and wellbeing. They provide evidence-based insights that support participants to access the right funding, achieve their goals, and live with greater autonomy.
What’s Included in Our Assessments & Reports
Our Functional Assessments are comprehensive and tailored to each individual. They typically include:
A holistic review of daily living skills, communication, mobility, social participation, and routines.
Interviews with the participant and, where appropriate, family, carers, or support staff.
Standardised assessment tools and clinical observation.
Identification of barriers and enablers in the person’s environment.
Clear recommendations for supports, therapies, and strategies.
Detailed reports aligned with NDIS and funding body requirements.
Key Benefits for Participants & Clients
Our assessments and reports are designed to provide:
Strong NDIS evidence – supporting applications, reviews, and plan reassessments.
Goal setting clarity – helping participants and their support networks define realistic, meaningful outcomes.
Support planning – ensuring providers and coordinators have a clear roadmap for services.
Advocacy & empowerment – giving participants a stronger voice in decision-making.
Delivery Format & Timeframes
We deliver assessments flexibly to meet each person’s needs:
In-home assessments for comfort and real-world context.
In-clinic sessions in a supportive, private environment.

Most assessments are completed within 2–4 weeks from referral to final report, depending on complexity and urgency.
