ADHD Assessment
How to get an assessment
ADHD Assessment: The purpose of an ADHD assessment and diagnosis is to offer you and other professionals the information they need to understand and support you with your condition. Our ADHD Assessment assessment is conducted online in three phases. The fee is charged at the beginning of each stage. The total cost of the ADHD assessment is the initial appointment fee + assessment + feedback session.
​
Phase 1: Initial Appointment ($230)*
​
You will have a 50-minute consultation with your Psychologist to discuss your concerns for ADHD. Your Psychologist will conduct a screener to determine whether further testing is needed.
Phase 2: Assessment ($860)
​
The assessment phase will take approximately 120 minutes. Once the evaluation is complete, your Psychologist will write a report and provide you with some feedback about your diagnosis.
Phase 3: Feedback and Result ($215)*
​
At this session, you will discuss the assessment results and what steps to take after your diagnosis. Your Psychologist may coordinate support with other health professionals. After your assessment, you may continue receiving therapy from one of our Psychologists in person or online.
​
Total Price: $1305*
* additional fees will be charged for after hours appointments.
Please note that access to some supports (i.e., NDIS, medication for ADHD) typically requires engagement with other professionals, i.e., a paediatrician or psychiatrist to prescribe medication for ADHD.
Going through an assessment for ADHD may not always lead to an ADHD diagnosis; your Psychologist may determine that you may need further testing, especially if your symptoms are consistent with differential diagnoses such as Autism Spectrum Disorder, Intellectual Disability or learning disorder.
