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.
Turnaround
How long it takes
Assessment appointments are usually available within 2 to 3 weeks. Your report is usually ready within 2 to 3 weeks of your appointment.
If you have an NDIS deadline, such as a plan review date, tell us when you book and we will do our best to meet it.
Where we assess
We have assessment clinics in Victoria, New South Wales, the ACT, Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia, the Northern Territory and Tasmania.
If travelling to a clinic is hard, we can arrange an assessment at your home or another suitable place.
Cost & rebates
Fees and funding
If you have an NDIS plan, your assessment may be funded through your Capacity Building supports. Your plan manager or support coordinator can help you check this.
Medicare does not provide rebates for neuropsychological assessments. We will confirm your fee in writing before you book.
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.

Understanding decision-making capacity assessments with our neuropsychologists
FAQs
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?
