ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition that can interfere with self-regulation, attention span, and impulse control. Typical symptoms include difficulty staying on task, acting without thinking, excessive talking or movement, and forgetfulness. These traits can significantly affect school performance, job outcomes, and daily routines.
While ADHD is commonly associated with childhood, many individuals reach adulthood without ever receiving a formal diagnosis. For some, getting tested later in life offers the missing piece of the puzzle that helps explain past academic, workplace, or personal struggles.
A formal ADHD assessment may help clarify whether a person’s struggles with focus or behaviour are due to ADHD or other factors such as anxiety, sensory issues, or learning differences. For school-aged children, early identification may allow for classroom support and learning accommodations. For adults, a diagnosis may offer a path toward improved mental health, better productivity, and more effective communication with others.
Our reports are structured to support practical recommendations, which may include behavioural strategies, referral to therapy, or school/workplace planning.

We break our ADHD testing into manageable steps, so clients know what to expect throughout the process:
1. Introductory Appointment
This session is an opportunity to raise your concerns, share background information, and ask questions. While a GP referral is not mandatory, it may be required for Medicare rebates on any future psychological services.
2. Developmental & Behavioural Interview
We gather information about the person’s functioning in different areas of life—at school, at work, and at home. This helps us identify patterns consistent with ADHD and rule out other causes.
3. Standardised Assessments
You’ll complete formal assessments designed to evaluate cognitive functioning, focus, memory, and self-control. Questionnaires may also be shared with parents, teachers, or partners, depending on the case.
4. Clinical Interpretation
We assess the results across different tools and perspectives, forming a well-rounded view of the individual’s attention and behavioural profile.
5. Feedback & Recommendations
Once testing is complete, we provide a clear explanation of the results and recommendations. This may include guidance on support services, educational or workplace adjustments, or next steps for therapy.

Yes, you may contact us directly. However, to access Medicare-funded psychology sessions after the assessment, you will need a referral and a Mental Health Care Plan.
Unfortunately, ADHD assessments themselves are not covered by Medicare. Some private health insurance plans may offer partial reimbursement—check with your insurer for details.
Timelines vary. After your initial consultation, we’ll provide a personalised schedule outlining the steps involved and estimated timeframe for completion.
