NDIS Assessments in Brisbane
At Vista Healthcare, we conduct diverse NDIS assessments depending on the specific requirements of our patients.
The assessment process typically commences with either a referral or phone inquiry. We will schedule a pre-visit phone call to discuss the needs of the participant or their representatives and to book the appropriate therapist for the in-home visit.
Vista Healthcare caters to adult (18+) NDIS participants and operates throughout the wider Brisbane region.

- Functional capacity assessments
- Assistive Technology assessments
- Home modification assessments

NDIS assessments Brisbane could be required for a number of reasons.

The purpose of plan reviews are to ensure current supports are appropriate (carers, living environment, how healthcare is being managed etc,). If additional reasonable and necessary support are required, these will be formalised in the report with the purpose of assisting the NDIS participant to achieve their meaningful goals and access appropriate funding.
