Combined Functional and Vocational Assessments typically take a full day.
Claimants typically commence the morning assessment around 9:30 or 10:00 am and then have a break for lunch. The afternoon assessment is usually completed by about 4:00 pm. Additional rest breaks can be provided if needed. It is also possible to split the functional and vocational assessments over two separate days if requested.
Telehealth Assessments.
Most assessments take place in person at our offices, but vocational assessments can be undertaken via telehealth if the claimant is unable to attend in person.
It is best to book at least 4 weeks in advance.
As we generally book appointments in combination, time slots do book up quite quickly. If you have a particular specialist pairing that you require, it is best to give our team enough time to accommodate the request.
3-Week Report Turnaround
We strive to complete all reports within 3 weeks after the appointment. However, due to external schedules or excessive case loads some of our specialists may not be able to adhere to the desired turnaround.
Urgent Report?
If you have a specific date you require the report, our team needs to know at the time of booking, so they are able to book your appointment with specialists who can work with the given time frame. This also needs to be included in the letter of instruction so that it
is noted with our compliance and reports team.
