functioning across everyday settings.

Complex Assessment and

Diagnostic Clarification

Bring together overlapping concerns, earlier reports or mixed findings through a

staged assessment plan.

Not sure which assessment you need?

Tell us the person's age, what is difficult, what you hope to understand and who will use the report. We can then advise whether a focused assessment, screening, broader diagnostic clarification or another service is the better starting point.

The initial recommendation is about suitability and scope. It does not confirm a diagnosis, fee, report outcome or appointment until these details are agreed with you.

How psychological assessment works

1. Enquire

Tell us the main question, age, intended use and any important timeframe.

2. Confirm the scope

The psychologist reviews suitability, relevant records, assessment options, fees and the proposed format.

3. Complete the assessment

The agreed interviews, questionnaires and standardised measures are completed under suitable conditions.

4. Understand the findings

Results are integrated with background information, explained in feedback and documented as agreed.

A clear plan before assessment begins

Before you book, you should understand what is being assessed, why it is relevant, what information is needed and what is included in the fee.

An agreed referral question and assessment scope
A clear list of appointments, questionnaires or records required
Feedback about the findings
A written report when included in the agreed service
Practical recommendations and next-step options

What an assessment can and cannot do

Assessment can contribute evidence, explanation and recommendations. It cannot guarantee a diagnosis, NDIS access, funding, school adjustments, workplace decisions or acceptance by another organisation.

Some questions require a GP, paediatrician, psychiatrist, speech pathologist, occupational therapist, clinical neuropsychologist or another professional. We will explain when a different or combined pathway is more appropriate.

Turn assessment findings into practical support

A report is most useful when its recommendations can be applied in everyday life. Psychological support may be available with or without a new assessment, depending on the person's goals and clinical needs.

ADHD Psychological Support

Practical and emotional support for attention, routines, follow-through and

self-understanding.

Executive Function and

Learning Strategies

Support for planning, task initiation, study, work and daily systems

Autism-Informed Psychological Support

Affirming support that respects communication, sensory and access needs.

Memory Strategy Support

Practical systems for remembering, organising information and following through.

Frequently asked questions

Which psychological assessment should I choose?

Start with the question you need answered. Intake can help determine whether cognitive, memory, learning, executive function, ADHD, autism, screening or broader clarification is most suitable.

Does one test diagnose ADHD, autism or a learning disorder?

No. A single score or questionnaire is not a complete diagnostic process. Relevant history, functioning, observations and other evidence may be required.

Can an assessment be completed online?

Some interviews, questionnaires and test components may be suitable for telehealth. Other components require in-person or controlled administration. Suitability is confirmed before booking.

Will another organisation accept the report?

Ask the organisation what it requires before booking. Schools, employers, insurers, funders and government agencies apply their own criteria and make their own decisions.
