How it works
We confirm the question and who it is for. Then come the assessment appointments, sometimes over more than one visit. You receive a written report and a feedback session to talk it through.
Time: About 10 hours of assessment time, confirmed in your written quote before anything is booked.

Every assessment includes the clinical interview, standardised testing, scoring, a written report and a feedback session. Complex presentations may need additional time; we confirm the hours and the report timing with you before anything is booked.
Assessment is a private-fee service. Medicare's Better Access items cover therapy sessions, not assessment. Medicare's rebate for psychological assessment is narrow: item 82000, for people under 25 with a complex neurodevelopmental disorder or eligible disability, on referral from a paediatrician or psychiatrist (for an eligible disability, a GP or another specialist can also refer), in person or by telehealth. NDIS, DVA and insurer-funded assessments are accepted.
How long until I get the report?
We confirm timing when you book. Complex assessments can take longer.
