Results will be emailed to your treating psychologist to discuss at your next appointment.

Description

There are natural limitations to psychometric measures with our online assessments, which means they are a screening instrument only and cannot and should not be used alone to make a mental health diagnosis. However, the scores from the assessments are an essential part of the process to obtain a diagnosis. A diagnosis is possible with the assessment results, together with a professional observation of a suitably qualified health professional (clinical psychologist, paediatrician, psychiatrist) to make a judgement regarding the appropriateness of a diagnosis. Further costs may be incurred for additional testing and assessments.
