What is a Psychological Assessment?

A psychological assessment is a structured process used to gather information to answer a specific question about an individual's psychological functioning. The nature of the question determines the type of assessment undertaken — for example, when a school wants to understand a child's intellectual ability to better support their learning, a cognitive assessment may be administered to provide this information and make tailored recommendations.

Assessments may gather information about how a person thinks, feels, and behaves. They typically include an interview with the individual, observations, collateral information from others (such as parents, teachers, or partners), and formal psychometric measures that are administered, scored, and interpreted by appropriately trained psychologists.

Once all relevant information is gathered, the psychologist conducts a comprehensive evaluation and provides their interpretations, conclusions, and recommendations in a detailed written report — which is presented and explained to you at a dedicated Feedback Session.

ADHD & Autism Combined Assessment

Dual Assessment — ADHD & ASD

ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder frequently co-occur, and a combined assessment allows both to be evaluated in a single, cohesive process. This avoids the need for two separate assessments and provides a comprehensive picture of your child's cognitive, attentional, and social-communication profile — along with integrated recommendations. Children under 25 may be eligible for Medicare rebates for the autism component via a Complex Neurodevelopmental Plan referral from a Paediatrician.

Many adults presenting with attention difficulties also show features consistent with autism — and vice versa.

This is particularly valuable for adults seeking clarity, NDIS access, or workplace accommodations.

ℹ

NDIS & Medicare Funding: If you are using NDIS funding for your assessment, please advise us at the time of enquiry as fees are calculated at NDIS rates. Please note that Medicare rebates are not available for assessments under a Mental Health Care Plan — however, children and young people under 25 with an autism assessment may be eligible for up to 4 Medicare rebates via a Complex Neurodevelopmental Plan referral from a Paediatrician or Psychiatrist. Not all assessment components are covered by NDIS — your psychologist will discuss this with you before proceeding.

What to Expect — Your Assessment Journey

From first contact to receiving your report — here is how the process works

Call or email our clinic to discuss your needs. Our admin team will ask a few questions to determine the most appropriate assessment type and send you a detailed, personalised quote with available appointment times. Appointment times are not reserved until you confirm and pay a deposit.

Confirm Your Booking & Pay Deposit

A non-refundable deposit of $200 is required to secure your booking. This is not an additional cost — it is deducted from your final payment. If custody or court orders are in place for a child, these must be provided at the time of booking.

Interview Session

Your first appointment is an in-depth interview with your psychologist — at the clinic or via telehealth. For child assessments, this is a Parent Interview (parents only). For adult assessments, this is your Initial Interview. This session shapes the assessment plan and payment is due at the end of the appointment.

Assessment Testing Session(s)

One or more clinic-based sessions where your psychologist administers validated psychometric tests. The number of sessions depends on the assessment type. Questionnaires may also be sent to parents, teachers, or a long-term partner to gather additional perspectives. Payment is due at the end of each session.

Report Writing

Once all testing is complete, your psychologist conducts a thorough analysis and prepares a comprehensive written report. This includes their findings, conclusions, and personalised recommendations. This stage takes place between your final testing session and your Feedback Session.

Feedback Session & Report Release

Your psychologist presents the findings in a dedicated Feedback Session — explaining the results in plain language and answering your questions. The final report is released to you once all fees are paid in full. Afterpay is available. The Feedback Session can be held at the clinic or via telehealth.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our assessment process

Medicare rebates are not available for assessment appointments under a Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) — only therapy appointments are eligible under the MHCP. However, children and young people under 25 seeking an autism assessment may be eligible for up to 4 Medicare rebates (approximately $98.95 each) if referred by a Paediatrician or Psychiatrist under a Complex Neurodevelopmental Plan. Please speak to your GP or specialist about this option.

NDIS funding can be used for many of our assessments, however fees are calculated at NDIS rates which differ slightly from our standard rates. Please advise us at the time of enquiry if you are using NDIS funding. Note that not all assessment components are covered by NDIS — for example, some supplementary questionnaires may not be covered. Your psychologist will discuss this with you before proceeding. Please also review your NDIS plan and check with your Plan Manager or NDIS representative before booking.

The total time from your first appointment to receiving your report varies depending on the assessment type and your psychologist's availability. Most assessments involve 3–5 clinic appointments spread over several weeks, followed by a report writing period, and then a Feedback Session. As a general guide, allow 6–10 weeks from your first appointment to your Feedback Session, though this can vary. Our admin team can give you a more specific estimate when you enquire.

No referral is required to book a psychological assessment with us — you can contact our clinic directly. However, if you wish to access Medicare rebates for an autism assessment via a Complex Neurodevelopmental Plan, a referral from a Paediatrician (for children under 18) or Psychiatrist (for those aged 18–25) is required. Our admin team can guide you through this process.

Payment is due at the end of each appointment. The final payment — which includes report writing and questionnaires — is due at your Feedback Session. All fees must be paid in full before the final report is released to you. Afterpay is available to help spread the cost. A non-refundable deposit of $200 is required to secure your booking — this is not an additional charge and is deducted from your final payment.

If there are any custody or court orders in place for the child being assessed, these documents must be provided to us at the time of booking for the psychologist to review. Consent must be obtained from both parents for the assessment to proceed, unless otherwise specified in the supplied custody or court order.

Interview sessions (Parent Interview / Initial Interview), Informant Sessions, and Feedback Sessions can be conducted via telehealth. However, the psychometric testing sessions (where standardised assessment tools are administered) must be conducted in person at our clinic to ensure the validity and accuracy of the results.

Our psychologists are qualified to make psychological diagnoses (such as ADHD or Autism Spectrum Disorder) based on the assessment findings. The report will include the psychologist's conclusions and recommendations. Please note that our psychologists are not medical doctors and cannot prescribe medication — however, if medication is a goal following a diagnosis, we can refer you to specialist GPs, Paediatricians, or Psychiatrists.
