Moore Psychology provides ADHD assessments for people aged 7 through adulthood.  The specific components of each assessment vary depending on the person's age and individual needs.

 

Assessment Process

ADHD assessments may include:

• Questionnaires covering behaviours, well-being, mental health, and/or adaptive functioning.

• Client and family interviews conducted via telepsychology.

• Additional cognitive and/or academic assessments (if relevant to the referral question) to investigate or rule out co-occurring learning difficulties.

Costs & Payment

The cost of an ADHD assessment depends on the specific components required for a comprehensive evaluation. Payment is required at various stages.

For individuals under 25, Medicare may provide rebates.

• Referral requirement: A valid referral from a paediatrician or psychiatrist is required to access Medicare rebates for ADHD assessments. Please refer to the FAQ section: "Are there rebates available for assessment and treatment of ADHD, autism, intellectual developmental disorder, and other learning disabilities?" for more details.

​

Medication Access:

A psychological ADHD assessment is a comprehensive evaluation of ADHD traits and related challenges, but it is separate from the medication prescribing process. Psychiatrists and paediatricians must make their own clinical decisions about medication and may repeat parts of the assessment as required. If medication is a priority, a referral from your GP to a prescribing specialist is recommended.
