Our assessment is in line with the recommendations from the Australian Evidence-Based Clinical Practice Guideline For Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
Please note: ADHD is not accepted under the NDIS. Our reports are not for use with an application to the NDIS. However, other diagnoses from the assessment may be considered under NDIS and the full psychological report may be used as supporting evidence.

We do not provide assessments for children or adolescents under 18 years.
