What does the ASD assessment involve?

Important: We require a referral from a Psychiatrist or Paediatrician.

All assessments are conducted by our experienced Clinical Psychologists or Clinical Neuropsychologists and Registrars.

1. Pre-assessment 

We ask that you complete a series of questionnaires, including a social history form. We may also ask you to provide us with any relevant reports or documents that might be relevant to your assessment.

2. Diagnostic Assessment

We ask you to come in for a 3-5 hour comprehensive assessment to get some background information about your developmental history, current circumstances, and the difficulties you are currently having. If you are under 18, we require a parent to be included in this process. Depending on the nature of the assessment, an additional 3-5 hr assessment component may be required.

3. Feedback

We will invite you for a 30-60 minute online session to provide feedback from the assessment.

4. Comprehensive Report

We provide you (and referrers) with a comprehensive report outlining the assessment findings, including diagnostic information, treatment recommendations, and a personalised roadmap to help guide you towards improved mental health and resilience.

Is autism assessment covered by Medicare?

If you are below 25, you can receive a medicare rebate for a diagnostic assessment and treatment of any neurodevelopmental disorders/eligible disabilities of $93.35 for up to 4 services.
