Expert neuropsychological assessment, close to you

Invictus Health provides neuropsychological assessments at Levels 4 & 5/66 Smith St, Darwin City NT 0800, serving Darwin CBD, Palmerston and the Top End. Whether you’re recovering from a brain injury, applying for the NDIS, involved in legal proceedings or simply looking for clarity, you’ll be assessed by a highly trained clinician who values precision, empathy and results.

A neuropsychological assessment is a structured process for understanding how well your brain is working. It involves a detailed clinical interview and comprehensive testing across cognitive areas including attention, memory, processing speed, executive functioning, language and visual perception.

All reports are reviewed personally by Dr Judy Tang OAM, our Director and Senior Neuropsychologist, to ensure accuracy and compliance with Australian Psychological Society (APS) guidelines and relevant legal requirements.

We’re located at Levels 4 & 5/66 Smith St, Darwin City NT 0800, with on-site parking available. The clinic is open Mon-Fri 9am-5pm. Call 08 7936 8052 to book.

Do you do home visits?

Who can refer?

Anyone. You can self-refer, or be referred by a GP, specialist, lawyer, insurer, case manager or NDIS support coordinator. For memory concerns, a GP referral is recommended so medical causes can be ruled out first.

Is the assessment covered by Medicare or insurance?

Medicare does not rebate neuropsychological assessments. Funding is often available through the NDIS, workers compensation or transport accident schemes, legal settlements, or DVA – we’ll help you confirm your pathway before booking.

How should I prepare?

Bring any medical records, previous test results, glasses or hearing aids, and a list of current medications. Sleep well the night before, and allow 3-4 hours for the appointment.
