Psychological Functional capacity Evaluation

A Psychological Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE) assesses an individuals’ capacity to perform various psychological or cognitive tasks. This assessment offers a baseline measurement of an individual’s current symptoms and fitness for work. We utilise evidence-based psychometric tests that are highly valid and reliable. This allows our psychologists to deliver an objective and standardised understanding of an individual’s current function including:

• Symptom severity;
• Ability to think clearly, concentrate, and plan tasks; and
• Ability to interact with colleagues effectively.

We would recommend engaging with these evaluations in the following circumstances:

• When medical professionals/treatment providers need more clarity to guide treatment and rehabilitation
• When individuals remain unfit for extended periods, or RTW progression is affected
• When psychological symptoms worsen or do not improve over time
• Prior to an Independent Medical Evaluation to provide greater objective evidence.
