Telehealth ADHD assessment across Australia
Understand attention, organisation and daily functioning through a structured psychological assessment. Meyer Institute offers ADHD assessment by secure video for adults, adolescents and children where clinically suitable.
Who this pathway may suit
Adults seeking clarity about longstanding attention, activity or impulse-regulation difficulties; parents concerned about a child’s functioning across home and school; and people whose distance, work or caring commitments make video appointments more practical. You do not need to know which tests to request.
What your assessment explores
Your psychologist considers developmental history, current difficulties, strengths, everyday impact and information from different settings. Sleep, anxiety, mood, trauma, learning difficulties and autism-related questions may also need consideration. A questionnaire or cognitive test alone does not establish ADHD.
A clear process from enquiry to feedback
First, tell us the person’s age, state and main assessment question. We review suitability and agree a written scope and fee. The assessment may involve clinical and developmental interviews, selected standardised questionnaires, records and collateral information with consent. Feedback explains the findings, evidence limitations and practical next steps. A written report is included within the agreed scope.
For children and teenagers
Parent or caregiver participation and school information are often important. We check age, communication, attention, privacy and the assessment requirements before offering video appointments. Some components may need in-person administration or another professional’s input.
Fees and what is included
ADHD assessment fees are quoted for the individual scope. Before booking, we specify the interviews, measures, collateral review, feedback, report and any additional work. Ask about your assessment question and we will confirm the total proposed fee.
Psychological assessment and medication
This is a psychological assessment pathway. Psychologists do not prescribe medication. If medication is a goal, discuss medical assessment and prescribing requirements with your GP or relevant medical practitioner. A receiving clinician may require their own assessment even when a psychological report is available.
Preparing for a video assessment
Use a private room, a reliable internet connection and a device with a camera and microphone. Tell us about accessibility needs or missing records. We explain any test-specific device, material or support requirements before the appointment. Do not send detailed clinical history through the initial enquiry form.
Frequently asked questions
Can ADHD assessment be completed online?
Some assessments can use video interviews, records and questionnaires. Suitability depends on age, the referral question, available evidence and clinical needs. We may recommend in-person assessment or another service.
Is an online quiz enough for diagnosis?
No. Screening can indicate whether further assessment may be useful. Diagnostic assessment considers history, impairment, different settings and alternative explanations.
Do I need childhood records as an adult?
Developmental information is important. Tell us which school reports or informants are available. Missing evidence and its implications are discussed before and during assessment.
Does an ADHD report guarantee medication or adjustments?
No. Prescribing is a medical decision. Employers, education providers and other agencies apply their own requirements. Tell us the intended use before the scope is agreed.
Do I need a referral to enquire?
No. You can send a private enquiry without a GP referral. Referral and funding requirements are checked separately.
When will I receive the report?
We confirm the expected sequence and timeframe after reviewing the agreed scope and information available. Missing questionnaires or collateral can affect completion.
