Job Capacity Assessment
The Job Capacity Assessment is a comprehensive assessment of an individual's ability to work. The assessment involves identification of any barriers to employment and any assistance that may be required to help them overcome those barriers. For people with medical conditions or disabilities, the assessment also identifies their current and future work capacity. Information provided by individuals will be used by a Job Capacity Assessor to complete this assessment, to assist in determining the appropriate type and level of support that the individual requires.
As a result of this assessment, individuals may be referred to either Job Services Australia or a Disability Employment Service, depending on the level of help required.
