This document provides an overview of JCA and details about the appropriate action(s) to take if a customer does not attend a scheduled appointment.

JCA appointments

Assessors must conduct a JCA to assess a customer's level of functional impairment and work capacity for a disability or medical condition(s).

See Job Capacity Assessments (JCA) for more details about:

  • what is in a JCA assessment report
  • assessment formats, and
  • when the customer needs a JCA

Customer fails to attend scheduled JCA appointment

When a customer fails to attend a phone, face to face or video conferencing JCA appointment, the Assessor must consider if the customer is:

  • remote, and if the format can be changed to a file assessment
  • not remote, or when the format cannot be changed to a file assessment, a second JCA appointment will be booked

If a customer fails to attend a second JCA appointment, the assessor will finalise the referral as Unable to Complete (UTC)
