Financial Assistance
Financial Assistance is available to cover the cost of an assessment in situations where an individual (not an institution or agency) cannot afford the fees.
Applications for financial assistance can be obtained by contacting the Capacity Assessment Office (CAO) at 416-327-6766 or 1-866-521-1033.
This assistance is available if:
The particular assessment required cannot, by law, be completed by anyone other than a
designated capacity assessor;
The CAO agrees that a capacity assessment is appropriate in the circumstances;
The person is able to self-request or family member requests, and person will not refuse the assessment, and
The individual completing the application for the assessment must meet the financial criteria to be eligible for financial assistance. To determine this, the applicant will need to provide financial information about their own finances and submit a completed financial assistance application.
The Capacity Assessment Office will notify the applicant when assistance has been approved or denied.
