The Domestic and Community Skills Assessment, Third Edition (DACSA-3) is an occupational therapy instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) assessment, which can be used to assess the domestic and community skills of a person with a mental health condition.

The research project to update and establish content validity of the DACSA-3 was conducted from 2021-2025 for a Master of Applied Science at La Trobe University. The DACSA-3 is currently free to use by occupational therapists and occupational therapy students and can be downloaded following completion of an online form, which will collect your name and email. If you are interested in reading or conducting DACSA-3 research, then please see the articles page.
