Psychology therapy:
For individuals aged 10 years and above.
- We accept referrals from individuals, families, professionals, and service providers.
- In-person or telehealth formats available.
- A referral and Mental Health Plan from a GP, Paediatrician or Psychiatrist may enable you to a Medicare rebate that will cover a significant portion of the cost of your session.
- We provide psychological therapy, assessment, and recommendation services under NDIS to self- and plan-managed clients.
Psychological Diagnostic Assessment:
Neuro-affirming assessments for Autism, ADHD, Learning Disorders & Disabilities for school-age children and adults.
We offer a range of options for each assessment type to cater for your specific needs and budgets. For those seeking confirmation and understanding of themselves, a letter confirming diagnosis may be suitable for your needs. For those seeking to apply for support and funding, a full report with functional assessment is required to apply for NDIS and other supports.
We recommend that children undergo a full autism assessment as the nature of autism often means that there are often specific challenges in a range of areas. However, we understand that this is sometimes financially challenging, so we invite you to contact our clinic to discuss payment plan options.
If you have a referral from a Paediatrician or Psychiatrist you may be eligible for Medicare rebates that cover a small portion of the fees of assessment.
*We recommend anyone who is seeking an ADHD diagnosis to get a GP referral and mental health plan as you may be eligible for Medicare rebates for some of your sessions (for example, feedback).
Please contact our office for assessment costs.
NDIS Services:
Specialized and innovative supports to help self- and plan-managed Autistic young people transition from school to work/study.
Transition planning for young people preparing to leave school and becoming an adult:
We can support autistic young people and their families to put together a plan for the next steps after school as they become an adult.
We recommend that this process starts approximately 12-18 months before the young person is ready to leave school.
Contact our clinic to organise a transition planning assessment for your young person
Autistic School Leavers Employment Supports (SLES):
We provide an innovative system of support to autistic individuals who are ready to transition from education into their next steps of life – whether it be work, further study or other meaningful goals. Our program is also available to young people who have struggled with this process and may have spent a few years out of school, but don’t feel confident to move into work or further study.
Our system of support integrates clinical interventions, education and supports, with our team being made up of Clinical Psychologist, Youth Mentors and an Employment Coach. Young people can stay with our program for up to 24 months. Contact our clinic to organise an intake appointment where you can find out more about what we do and get a quote for your NDIS plan.
