A guide to using the free Scripto FCA template
In OT land, time is of the essence. With the increasing demands of NDIS compliance, finding efficient ways to manage documentation is crucial. Enter the Scripto Functional Capacity Assessment (FCA) template—a free tool designed to streamline your reporting process and enhance the quality of your assessments.
Introduction to the Scripto FCA template
The free FCA template is designed for OTs working with NDIS participants. Developed by Julian Corvin, an Occupational Therapist and founder of Scripto, this template is made to simplify the complex process of NDIS reporting. New clinicians often struggle with the intricacies of NDIS reporting requirements, jargon and legislative mandates, and we have aimed to create a solution that benefits clinicians just starting out in this context.

Key features of the template
1. Information gathering prompts: The template includes built-in prompts for various assessment areas such as previous medical interventions, environment, social factors, and activities of daily living (ADLs) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs). These prompts act as memory aids, ensuring comprehensive data collection during assessments.
2. Visual communication tools: The template features a Table of Contents and the complete guide: Outline of Recommended Supports, making it easier for NDIS planners and stakeholders to navigate reports. This structure enhances clarity and allows for customisation to fit individual client recommendations.
3. Planning meeting integration: The Outline of Recommended Supports can be printed or shared during planning meetings, and organised by NDIS budget categories. This ensures that recommendations are clearly presented, justified, and risks are highlighted if not funded. We have included the complete guide for your reference, which includes footnotes and links to further explanations of opaque NDIS funding categories.
4. Best practices & efficiency: The template encourages the use of info gathering strategies and time-saving tips, such as completing notes in sections while fresh and using AI tools like AI scribes + Scripto for drafting reports.
5. Scripto platform integration: Each section of the template corresponds directly to sections in the Scripto platform. Scripto’s AI engine transforms plain notes into polished reports, handling formatting, structure, and clinical justifications automatically
