Assessment Referral

Psychology and Speech/Language Assessments:
Please see our fee schedule prior to sending a new client request. 

Medicare cannot be used for the purpose of assessment, except in the case of a Paediatrician / Psychiatrist initiating a four-session referral for the purpose of assessing for Autism.

In order to secure your initial appointment, upfront payment is required.

Ongoing, we encourage payment details to be stored securely (using the Stripe platform that meets national storage legislation) in order for us to process payments in the event of Telehealth appointments, late cancellation fees, or if it is the client’s choice. You will always be informed prior to payment being processed.

Please note: NDIS funding cannot be used for diagnostic assessments, as per NDIS guidelines. For plan-managed clients, we are unable to bill third-party providers (plan managers) for these assessments

Psychology ONLY

Please note: for children 12 years and under, the initial appointment will be a parent/ guardian only session. Medicare rebates do not apply to assessment referrals, except as mentioned above, and therefore are unable to be applied for this session. This allows for the presenting problem to be discussed openly between guardians and practitioner. The aim is to protect the child from potentially sensitive information that is important for assessment hypothesis formulation and planning.
