What is included in your purchase?

An addendum template that supports you to summarise evidence relating to:

  • High Support Needs safeguard eligibility criteria
  • 24-hour funded NDIS disability support needs
  • Required support ratios across the day
  • Social, Economic and Community Participation supports
  • The impact of reduced community support funding
  • Foreseeable safety, functional and support risks if funding is reduced

It includes structured prompts to guide participant-specific documentation while keeping the detailed functional evidence and clinical reasoning within the main assessment.


How can I use the template?

The template can be:

  • incorporated into a new FCA or SIL Functional Capacity Assessment report, or
  • completed as an addendum where an FCA or SIL report has already been submitted.

Where used as an addendum, the template is designed to draw on and summarise evidence already documented within the original assessment rather than requiring you to repeat the full FCA.


Who is this template for?

This resource is designed for Occupational Therapists working with NDIS participants who receive funded disability supports across the full 24-hour period (24/7) and who meet, or are expected to meet, the High Support Needs safeguard criteria.

It is not intended as a replacement for a comprehensive functional assessment or the OT’s clinical reasoning.


What will I receive?

Following purchase, you’ll receive an email with your editable Microsoft Word template ready to download.

You can then add your own practice branding and tailor the prompts to the participant’s individual circumstances, assessment findings and available evidence.

Important information

This template provides a structured framework only and must be tailored to each participant’s individual circumstances and available assessment evidence.

It is intended to support, not replace, professional judgement. Occupational Therapists should use the template alongside their own policies, procedures and relevant external advice and ensure their documentation reflects current NDIS requirements and professional obligations.
