Referral

How referral works

Anyone can refer. You can contact us yourself, or a family member, support coordinator, plan manager, GP or allied health professional can refer you. You do not need a GP referral.

When we receive a referral, we will:

  • confirm which assessment best fits your NDIS goals
  • explain the fee and how it can be funded
  • tell you which reports or records to send before your appointment

Diagnosis

What will be assessed

Your neuropsychologist looks at how you think, learn and manage everyday life. Depending on your needs, this can include:

  • memory, attention and problem solving
  • learning and intellectual functioning
  • communication and social skills
  • daily living skills and independence

Assessments can identify or confirm conditions such as autism, ADHD, intellectual disability, acquired brain injury and psychosocial disability, where the results support a diagnosis.

Reporting

Reports written for the NDIS

Your report explains how your condition affects your daily life, using the functional areas the NDIS looks at: communication, social interaction, learning, self-care, self-management and mobility.

It includes clear recommendations for supports, so your support coordinator and the NDIA can see what you need and why.

Assistance With Court & Tribunal Processes

Help with reviews and appeals

If you are asking the NDIA to review a decision, or appealing to the Administrative Review Tribunal, a detailed report can be important evidence.

We can explain our findings in writing and, where needed, our clinicians can give evidence. Extra fees apply for tribunal work.

FAQs

Find answers to common questions about our assessment services.

What does a mental capacity assessment involve?

Anyone facing questions about their ability to make important decisions may benefit. Courts, families, and individuals often seek clarity on financial, medical, or legal matters.

When should decision making capacity be assessed?

Decision making capacity assessments should be carried out when there is a question of whether an individual lacks the capacity to make informed and reasonable decisions (especially important legal decisions that will have significant impacts on their lifestyle).

Some situations where a decision making capacity assessment may be needed include:

The individual continues to make ill-informed decisions that negatively impacts their quality of life
The individual experiences difficulty in remembering events (especially recent events or occurrences)
The individual feels confused very often, and experiences dramatic mood swings
The individual is diagnosed with an illness or condition that may impact their ability to making reasonable and informed decisions

Is the assessment confidential?

Yes. Your information is protected under privacy laws. Reports are shared only with those you authorize or as required by law.

What if I disagree?

We explain our findings clearly. You can discuss concerns with your neuropsychologist or seek independent review.

Do I need a referral?

A GP referral is required for Medicare rebates. Private assessments can proceed without referral.

What happens with the report?

You receive the original. Copies go to your GP and anyone you authorize. Courts receive reports as required by legal process.

What are decision making capacity assessments dependent upon?

The specific questions and cognitive tests carried out in decision making capacity assessments depend upon each individual’s situation. Therefore each capacity assessment and medico legal report we provide will vary on a case-by-case basis.

Some of the factors that are considered include:

The specific referral questions
Any questions you or your doctor may have
Any specific health complaints
Any reported symptoms
Observations made by your Clinical Neuropsychologist
