Ethical, evidence-based assessments, priced for our community
Assessments
¹ We offer ADHD and Autism assessments only as a combined service for adults. This integrated approach reflects best clinical practice and ensures a more accurate and efficient diagnostic process.
* Prices reflect private billing. Assessment prices for NDIS participants are billed at applicable NDIS rates.

Payment plans available
We know a full assessment is a big investment. To make things easier, we offer flexible payment plans so you don’t have to cover the full cost upfront. You can spread payments out over a few instalments, and still get started straight away.
If you’d like to set up a plan, just let us know at your first appointment and we’ll work out what suits you best.
Start with an initial appointment
If you’re a new client, the process begins with booking an initial consultation costing $375 (Medicare or private health insurance rebate applies with valid referral or private health insurance policy). This 80-minute session is designed to understand your needs, confirm whether an assessment is appropriate, and plan the most suitable approach for you or your child. The consultation fee is separate and not deducted from the cost of the assessment.
If you’re an existing client and have already completed the initial consultation, you can proceed straight to booking your assessment.
We have an initial consultation rather than jumping straight into the assessment appointments and associated tasks because it ensures the process is tailored to your individual circumstances. This session allows us to gather essential background information, clarify your goals, and determine whether a full assessment is the right next step. It also helps us plan the most effective and efficient assessment pathway, so you receive the best possible care.

About Medicare and private health for assessment appointments
Psychological assessments for ADHD and autism are privately billed, and Medicare rebates do not apply to the initial consultation or to any assessment appointments, including report writing. This is because Medicare does not cover psychological assessments for diagnosis. Medicare rebates through a Mental Health Care Plan apply only to sessions focused on treatment of a mental health condition, such as therapy.
For new clients, the cost of the initial consultation is included in the full assessment fee, so it is not charged separately if you go ahead with the assessment.
Private health insurance may offer a partial rebate for psychological assessments, depending on your level of extras cover. We recommend checking with your insurer to confirm whether assessment services provided by a registered psychologist are included in your policy.
If you are unsure whether an assessment is the right step for you, we are happy to talk it through first. If a session is genuinely therapeutic and you have a valid referral, a Medicare rebate may apply to that session. We will always explain the purpose of each session beforehand and let you know exactly how it will be billed.
