ADHD Assessment for Adults

ADHD

The Centre for Clinical Psychology offers ADHD assessment services in Victoria

We are pleased to provide Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Assessments for adults.

At the Centre for Clinical Psychology, we provide ADHD assessment for adults across Melbourne, Victoria and beyond. Upon completion of an assessment, we can also provide you with psychological support and strategies to manage ADHD. Our experienced team of ADHD clinical psychologists can also assist with therapy for self-esteem and adjustment, as well as building upon your strengths. We also provide mental health treatment for co-occurring mental health difficulties.

What is Involved?

Our adult ADHD assessment in Melbourne is conducted across three sessions.  The first two sessions are 90 minutes and focused upon assessment. In the third 60-minute session, you will be provided with feedback and a written report with clinical recommendations.

Pre-Assessment Session:

You will be asked to complete:

  • Five reliable and valid self-report measures for assessing ADHD.
  • A mental health screening questionnaire.
  • One questionnaire for an informant (partner, parent) to complete.

Pre-Assessment Session: Assessment Sessions:

  • A full clinical and biopsychosocial assessment.
  • A full ADHD assessment with an established clinical interview.

Integration and Feedback:

  • Your psychologist will provide you with a full psychological report.
  • The report includes the diagnosis (or not) of ADHD and/or other mental health condition/s, as well as evidence-based treatment recommendations and strategies.
  • If we consider that you require further assessment for learning difficulties or you are considering medication, we will suggest referral.

Co-Occurring Mental Health Conditions and ADHD

People with ADHD can have higher rates of co-existing mental health problems (Kessler et. al. 2006). Mental health issues can make it harder to manage ADHD symptoms – and likewise, untreated ADHD can negatively impact mental health and wellbeing. 

We offer integrated support following your ADHD assessment. It helps that we already know your story. We understand some of the challenges that can arise which are linked to questions of identity and we can help you to build self-confidence. We can also help you manage workplace issues or relationship concerns.

National Insurance Disability Scheme (NDIS)

Please note: ADHD is not currently accepted as a primary condition under the NDIS. Our reports are not for use with an application to the NDIS. However, other diagnoses identified during your ADHD assessment may be considered, and the full psychological report may be used as supporting evidence. Further information about the NDIS can be found at https://www.ndis.gov.au/

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