Assessment Services

We offer: Autism & ADHD diagnostic assessments - Online & Australia-wide

Please note: Psychologists are not licensed to prescribe or recommend medication. If your goal is to explore medication, you may choose to see a psychiatrist directly. Alternatively, a psychological assessment can provide clarity and supporting documentation, which you may take to your GP or psychiatrist. Please note that psychiatrists may complete their own diagnostic process.

All appointments are securely booked through our online portal powered by Zanda. Your privacy is protected, and you’ll receive confirmation details and intake forms via email.

Cancellation policy: A 50% deposit is non-refundable and confirms your booking. You may reschedule once with more than 48 hours’ notice. Cancellations within 48 hours or no-shows (arriving more than 20 minutes late) forfeit the full fee.

***By proceeding with your booking, you confirm that you have read and agreed to our Terms & Consent document, and consent to receiving psychological services in accordance with these terms. We encourage you to take your time reviewing them & reach out if you have any questions. Your comfort and clarity matter.***

Comprehensive Assessment (Autism only $1,900 or Autism and ADHD combined $2,150)
$1,900.00

The Comprehensive Assessment is our most in-depth diagnostic service, designed for those who need detailed documentation and a thorough understanding of their neurodivergent profile.

This option provides the highest level of clinical depth and reporting — ideal for NDIS, workplace adjustments, or when multiple areas of functioning need to be explored. It balances formal assessment with a supportive, low-demand experience throughout.

It includes:

  • Comprehensive intake form

  • Extended MIGDAS-2 diagnostic interview

  • Psychometric assessments

  • Collateral input and developmental history (where available)

Please note:

This is a formal diagnostic assessment suitable for recognition by GPs, allied health professionals, and workplace/university accommodations. While it provides a comprehensive diagnostic foundation, NDIS eligibility decisions require a multidisciplinary approach and may involve additional functional or allied health assessments.

Many clients choose this option when they wish to gain a thorough understanding of their neurodivergent profile, supported by comprehensive documentation and ongoing guidance.

Are your assessments recognised by GPs or psychiatrists?
Yes. Reports include diagnostic information aligned with DSM-5 criteria and are appropriate for medical professionals, universities, or workplaces. Please let us know your intended use so we can tailor the summary or offer a full report if needed.

Can I claim Medicare or private health rebates?
Assessment sessions are not eligible for Medicare rebates for adults over 25YO. If you are under 25YO, you maybe eligible for a rebate - please consult with your GP.

Can I do everything online?
Yes. All sessions, assessments, and forms are completed via secure telehealth. You can access services from anywhere in Australia.

Do I have to be on camera during the assessment?
At the start of the interview, we ask that you have your camera on to meet your clinician. After that, you're welcome to turn your video off for some or all of the session, & you’re welcome to have a support person present. You're also welcome to let us know in advance what would help you feel most supported so that this is a low-demand, affirming space for you.

This report is not sufficient for NDIS access applications. If you require a report specifically for NDIS evidence, please email us prior to booking to discuss your needs and ensure the appropriate assessment and documentation can be arranged.
