Functional Capacity Assessment Report Writing (Allied Health Assistant?)

I’m a writer and editor but also the parent of a young adult with GMFCS Level V CP amongst other significant disabilities. He recently had an FCA done with took the OT hours and hours.

Because I’m his full-time carer and I freelance when I can, I’m wondering whether FCA report writing would be a potential income stream and hoping someone might be able to offer advice.

Would I need qualifications as an Allied Health Assistant? Would ‘ghost writing’ be considered above board (I’m eternally grateful for the NDIS and have no desire to do anything untoward)?

It seems something that could really help therapists by freeing up time to be hands on, and my knowledge of the NDIS and their requirements for decent plan outcomes isn’t insignificant after all these years.

Really keen for some input from anyone in the know.

Cheers

Edit: appreciate the responses offering constructive feedback.

It wasn’t my intention to offend by asking; as I said, my son has many significant disabilities and I’ve worked with the gamut of therapists over the years and I understand the value of specialist knowledge.
