Common questions about psychological assessments
What is a psychological assessment?
A psychological assessment is a structured process that uses interviews, history, and standardised tools to understand cognitive abilities, learning, or a possible diagnosis such as ADHD or autism. It results in a clear picture and practical recommendations for school, work, or daily life. Assessments provide clarity that can guide support, accommodations, and self-understanding for children, teenagers, and adults.
How do I know if I need an assessment?
An assessment may help if there are ongoing questions about attention, learning, development, or diagnosis that are affecting school, work, or wellbeing, or if you want clarity to access appropriate support. GPs, schools, or other providers sometimes suggest one. If you are unsure whether an assessment is the right step, contact us and we can help you work out what would be most useful.
What happens during and after an assessment?
The process usually involves an initial discussion, one or more assessment sessions, and a written report with findings and tailored recommendations. Your psychologist will explain the results in plain language and answer your questions. The recommendations are the practical heart of the report, guiding support at school, work, or home. We can also point you toward next steps or further support if needed.
Are psychological assessments covered by Medicare?
Assessments are often not fully covered by Medicare, and costs vary depending on the type and complexity, so it is best to ask us about fees before booking. No referral is required, though a GP or other provider may recommend an assessment. Contact us and we can explain what is involved, give you a clear idea of cost, and help you plan.
What is cognitive or IQ testing, and what does it measure?
Cognitive testing, sometimes called IQ testing, uses standardised tasks to measure thinking skills such as reasoning, memory, processing speed, and verbal and visual problem-solving. Rather than producing a single label, it builds a profile of relative strengths and areas of difficulty. This is useful for understanding learning, identifying giftedness or difficulties, and guiding support at school or work. The practical recommendations that come from it are usually the most valuable part.
