WHAT IS A NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT?
A neuropsychological assessment typically takes between 3-4 hours to complete. The appointment comprises:
A clinical interview to understand your background, concerns, and symptoms;

After your assessment is completed, your results are analysed and a report is prepared to meet the needs of your referral (e.g., clinical, diagnostic, rehabilitation, medico-legal).
DO I NEED A REFERRAL?
A referral is recommended. We accept referrals from medical doctors (GPs and specialists), lawyers, insurers, and government and health departments.

Our fees are guided by the Australian Psychological Society fee schedule. The fee for a neuropsychological assessment depends on the nature, purpose and complexity of the case (e.g., clinical, diagnostic or medico-legal). The length of time needed to conduct an assessment and prepare a report can vary greatly depending on the referral.
