Many of those are adults diagnosed for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>An assessment can answer the question properly, explain your strengths and challenges, and open the door to workplace adjustments, study support, counselling that fits you, and in some cases NDIS funding. Our article on <a href=\"\/resources\/autism-in-adults-signs-and-assessment\/\">signs of autism in adults<\/a> covers what to look for.<\/p>\n<h2>What an adult autism assessment in Melbourne costs<\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Option<\/th>\n<th>Typical cost<\/th>\n<th>Notes<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Melbourne private clinics that publish prices<\/td>\n<td>About $1,650 to $2,700<\/td>\n<td>Most clinics do not publish a price<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Combined autism and ADHD assessment, Melbourne clinics<\/td>\n<td>About $2,200 to $3,100<\/td>\n<td>Two questions, one process<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Public hospital or university clinic<\/td>\n<td>Low cost or free<\/td>\n<td>Few adult services; waits are long or lists are closed<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Invictus Health adult autism assessment<\/td>\n<td>$2,100<\/td>\n<td>3 to 4 hours, report in 2 weeks, no GP referral<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Invictus Health combined autism and ADHD assessment<\/td>\n<td>$2,700<\/td>\n<td>One report covering both<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Invictus Health NDIS autism assessment<\/td>\n<td>$3,541.86<\/td>\n<td>Billed at the NDIS price limit, 14 hours<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Invictus Health autism and ADHD screening<\/td>\n<td>$700<\/td>\n<td>A shorter first step if you are unsure<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Medicare does not rebate an adult autism assessment. Medicare items for autism assessment exist only for people under 25 referred by a paediatrician or psychiatrist. Some private health extras policies pay part of the fee. Our <a href=\"\/resources\/how-much-does-a-neuropsychological-assessment-cost\/\">guide to assessment costs<\/a> explains what the fee covers and the payment options.<\/p>\n<h2>What the National Guideline requires<\/h2>\n<p>Australia&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autismcrc.com.au\/best-practice\/assessment-and-diagnosis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">National Guideline for the Assessment and Diagnosis of Autism<\/a> (Autism CRC) sets the standard that good clinics follow. The main elements are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>a detailed clinical interview about your history, your current life and how your traits affect you<\/li>\n<li>standardised assessment tools, used by a clinician trained in them<\/li>\n<li>information from someone who knew you as a child, where that is possible and you agree<\/li>\n<li>consideration of other explanations and co-occurring conditions such as ADHD, anxiety, trauma or intellectual disability<\/li>\n<li>a report that states the conclusion, the evidence for each criterion, your strengths and support needs, and practical recommendations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The guideline also says people should receive their findings within three months of the first appointment. At Invictus Health the report is ready 2 weeks after your assessment.<\/p>\n<h2>How the assessment works at Invictus Health<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Booking.<\/strong> Contact us or book online. No GP referral is needed. We send you questionnaires to complete before the appointment, and one for a parent, sibling or partner if you are comfortable with that.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The assessment.<\/strong> About 3 to 4 hours with a psychologist, in person at Preston, Footscray, Dandenong or Melbourne CBD. It includes a structured interview and standardised measures. Breaks are built in, and you can bring a support person.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The report.<\/strong> Within 2 weeks you receive a written report that explains the conclusion and the reasons for it, in language a workplace, university or the NDIA can use.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Feedback.<\/strong> We go through the findings with you and talk about what happens next. Our article on <a href=\"\/resources\/after-adult-adhd-autism-diagnosis\/\">life after an adult diagnosis<\/a> is a good starting point.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Autism, ADHD or both<\/h2>\n<p>Autism and ADHD often occur together, and the overlap can be confusing: both can involve trouble with attention, organisation and sensory load. If you have questions about both, a <a href=\"\/services\/adhd-asd\/\">combined assessment<\/a> ($2,700) answers them in one process rather than two. If you only want to know whether a full assessment is worth it, our $700 screening is a shorter first step.<\/p>\n<h2>What a diagnosis can and cannot do<\/h2>\n<p>A diagnosis can help you understand yourself, get adjustments at work or study, and access autism-specific support. It does not automatically mean NDIS funding. The NDIA asks for evidence of how a condition affects your daily life, and the Australian Government passed the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.health.gov.au\/news\/the-ndis-amendment-securing-the-ndis-for-future-generations-bill-2026-has-passed-parliament\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NDIS Amendment Bill in 2026<\/a>, with changes to access arrangements to come after 1 January 2028. That is why our reports describe how autism affects your daily life, not just whether you meet the criteria. Our guide to <a href=\"\/resources\/ndis-autism-evidence\/\">NDIS evidence for autism<\/a> explains what the NDIA looks for.<\/p>\n<h2>How Invictus Health can help<\/h2>\n<p>Our psychologists and neuropsychologists provide <a href=\"\/services\/asd-assessments\/\">adult autism assessments<\/a> and combined autism and ADHD assessments at <a href=\"\/services\/neuropsychology-assessments\/preston\/\">Preston<\/a>, <a href=\"\/services\/neuropsychology-assessments\/footscray\/\">Footscray<\/a>, <a href=\"\/services\/neuropsychology-assessments\/dandenong\/\">Dandenong<\/a> and <a href=\"\/services\/neuropsychology-assessments\/melbourne-cbd\/\">Melbourne CBD<\/a>.
