Urgent Functional Capacity Assessments in Perth. After-hours and Weekend appointments available.

Comprehensive Functional Capacity Assessments for Work

LastMinuteMedicals supports FCAs for a range of scenarios, including:

• Return to work / fitness for duties (where a functional review is required)

• Injury rehabilitation planning (to guide safe progression)

• Workplace modifications & job task matching

• Insurer / case manager requirements (when an FCA is requested)

• Baseline functional benchmarking (before or after treatment programs)

If you’re not sure whether you need an FCA or a different assessment, tell us your situation and we’ll point you in the right direction.

Functional Capacity Assessment - What to expect, and what to bring

What we Provide

• Functional testing aligned to referral purpose

• Clear documentation of functional tolerances and observed capacity

• Practical recommendations (where appropriate)

• A professional report suitable for employers/insurers/case managers (where applicable)

Note: We focus on functional performance and safety. We do not “guarantee” outcomes or approvals, as requirements vary by referrer and agency.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a Functional Capacity Assessment take?
Most FCAs take 1–3 hours, depending on the referral purpose and complexity. We’ll confirm expected duration at booking.

How quickly can I get an appointment in Perth?
We prioritise urgent requests and may offer after-hours or weekend appointments depending on availability.

How soon will the report be ready?
A vast majority of our Functional Capacity Assessment reports are available on the same day. This report is sent securely to the employer / requestor

Is an FCA the same as a medical assessment?
Not exactly. An FCA focuses on functional performance (what tasks you can do safely and sustainably). A medical assessment focuses more on diagnosis and clinical examination.

Do you do FCAs for return-to-work or employer requests?
Yes—where a functional assessment is requested. If you can provide a job task list or description, we can align testing accordingly.
