Comprehensive Assessments for All Ages

Once you submit an enquiry form, our team will contact you to gather clinical details, understand your goals, and recommend the right type of assessment. We’ll also explain costs, payment options, and how many sessions may be required.

Assessments are conducted by a psychologist (registered or provisionally registered) or members from our multidisciplinary team. Sessions are typically 1.5 hours or longer and may occur over multiple appointments, depending on what’s being assessed. Parents and educators may be asked to complete questionnaires or checklists as part of the process.

We use standardised assessment tools tailored to your needs. Depending on the age and goals, sessions may include games, tasks, questions, and observations. We aim to keep the environment calm and supportive — especially for children. Sessions take place at our Brisbane or Melbourne clinics or via telehealth.

After your final session, you’ll receive a clear, easy-to-understand report within 4–6 weeks. It will include results, recommendations, and any possible diagnoses. You’ll also be booked in for a feedback session to walk through the findings.

We’ll guide you through any next steps, which may include therapy, additional referrals, or collaboration with other professionals like paediatricians or psychiatrists.

Your assessment reports may be used as part of the evidence required for NDIS funding, school adjustments, or other government funding.

Please note: we do not provide court reports or medico-legal assessments.

It depends on the reason for the assessment. You may be asked about learning, behaviour, emotions, relationships, daily activities, social skills, early development, milestones, or relevant clinical history.

For children, we often include games or tasks. The aim is to understand what’s happening and how best to support the person being assessed.

Diagnostic assessments can help identify cognitive, emotional, learning, social, or behavioural strengths or weaknesses. These standard assessments can provide the evidence needed to contribute to a diagnosis. A diagnosis can help you to access services like the NDIS, help schools tailor learning plans, or guide therapy and support needs.

The NDIS does not fund diagnostic assessments on their own. You are typically required to have a diagnosis first, before you can get funding for services.

No. You don’t need a referral to access an assessment with us, unless you’re using a Medicare rebate. For private (fee-for-service) clients, you can self-refer by completing our online referral form.

Wait times vary based on location and availability. In most areas, assessments can begin once the invoice has been paid and typically within 4 weeks of completing your enquiry form.

Once your form is submitted, our team will contact you to confirm timeframes and next steps.

Assessments are completed by either a psychologist (registered or provisionally-registered), or members from our multidisciplinary team, such as occupational therapists or speech pathologists.

Provisional psychologists are supervised by senior clinicians that include board approved supervisors with a range of endorsements from clinical to education and developmental psychologists.

We’ll match you with the best-fit clinician based on the assessment needs.

We do not provide assessments for medico-legal, court (guardianship, custody etc), or forensic purposes. If you’re unsure whether your needs fit within our scope, please reach out and we’ll guide you in the right direction.

If our services aren’t the right fit, we can suggest alternatives. This might include your GP, school wellbeing team, local mental health services, or other assessment providers. We’re happy to help point you in the right direction.
