Psychological Assessments

We know how hard and daunting the assessment process can be, so we aim to make it as stress-free and straightforward as possible for you.

For those 18 years and older, interviews will be directly with the individual being assessed. However, input from those close to them (e.g. partner, parent, sibling) is welcomed.

  • 1-hour caregiver interview (performed online via Teams or Zoom).

  • 3-hour in clinic assessment of overall intelligence, strengths, and difficulties.

Please note: We recommend discussing your assessment findings with a paediatrician or psychiatrist. This can help you explore suitable treatment options and access the full range of supports available. As waiting times can be long, we encourage you to speak with your GP about a referral to a paediatrician or psychiatrist as soon as possible.
