You don't have to know which one it is before you book.
Autism, ADHD, or both — most people arrive suspecting something and unsure what. One assessment looks at all of it, by video, with a registered psychologist.
Autism and ADHD assessed together, not across two waitlists.
No separate charge for the document you came for.
A second reviews every report before it is released.
On the site, before you enquire.
What we assess
Four questions, four pathways.
Each one leads somewhere different — to a prescriber, to a funding body, or simply to an explanation. We tell you which before you book.
Autism
Adults and teens 12+
A full diagnostic assessment against DSM-5-TR criteria, including how it presents in someone who has spent a lifetime masking.
Autism assessment →ADHD
Inattentive, hyperactive or both
Assessment, a written report, and a clear path to a prescriber if medication is something you want to explore.
ADHD assessment →Autism + ADHD
Often called AuDHD
The two overlap constantly and each can hide the other. One process, both questions answered, one report.
Combined assessment →Cognitive
Intellectual disability
Formal cognitive and adaptive testing, usually needed for NDIS access or a Centrelink claim.
Cognitive assessment →The question almost nobody asks
What does your report have to do?
A diagnosis on its own unlocks nothing. Every organisation has its own rules about what the report must contain and who is allowed to sign it. Book with the wrong assessor and you pay twice.
So it is the first thing we ask, not the last. It changes which clinician you see, what goes in the report, and sometimes whether an assessment is worth doing at all.
| What you need it for | Who can sign it |
|---|---|
| Understanding yourself | A registered psychologist |
| Work or university adjustments | A registered psychologist |
| NDIS access | Clinical psychologist, psychiatrist, paediatrician or a team |
| Centrelink, intellectual function | Must be a psychologist |
| ADHD medication | A doctor — varies by your state |
The NDIS does not pay for diagnostic assessments. Diagnosis sits with the health system. If anyone tells you your plan will cover it, check carefully.
How it works
From enquiry to report.
Tell us what's going on
A short form. What you've noticed, whether you're on the NDIS, and what you need the report to actually do.
Questionnaires at home
In your own time. Someone who has known you a long time fills in a short section too, if you have someone willing.
The assessment
A video session with your psychologist. Two to three hours, splittable across two sittings.
Your report
Plain English, reasoning shown, structured for whatever you need it for. Turnaround: [TURNAROUND].
Pricing
Published, because most clinics won't.
Every fee includes the written report. No booking fee, no per-email charges, no surprise add-on for the document you came for.

Who does the assessment
Psychologist-led. Psychiatrist when the question needs one.
Your assessment is completed by a registered psychologist. For autism we use clinical psychologists experienced in assessing adults, or a multidisciplinary team — that matters, because the NDIS names those specifically when it comes to evidence.
A psychiatrist is available where it helps: if you want the Medicare rebate on the assessment itself, if you're under 25, or if the picture is complicated by other mental health conditions.
What we won't do
Three things we put in writing, because the opposite is common.
Promise you a diagnosis. The fee buys a thorough assessment and an honest opinion, not a particular answer.
Promise an outcome. The NDIA, Centrelink, your employer and your university decide. We write to their standard; we can't decide for them.
Take your money if an assessment is the wrong move. If a screening call says you don't need what you think you need, we say so.
Questions
What people ask first.
Can this really be done over video?
Yes, for autism and ADHD. The assessment is built on your history, structured questionnaires and a long clinical conversation — none of which needs you in a room. Cognitive testing is the exception: part of the IQ test needs someone physically present, and we'll organise that.
What if I don't get a diagnosis?
Then we tell you, and we explain what we think is going on instead. The fee is for the assessment, not for a particular answer. Anyone promising you a diagnosis before they've met you is selling you something else.
Will this get me on the NDIS?
We can't promise that, and nobody honest can — the NDIA decides. What we can do is write to the standard they ask for, and tell you before you book whether your situation is likely to meet it.
Do I need a GP referral?
Not for a psychologist-led assessment. You do need one if you want the Medicare rebate that comes with the psychiatrist option.
How long does it take to get in?
Current wait: [CURRENT WAIT]. We publish it because most clinics don't, and being left in the dark is its own kind of stress.
Not sure where to start?
The free screener takes about three minutes and tells you which assessment fits — or whether you need one at all.
