About Our Assessment Services

Our psychological assessments build a clear picture of how a child, adolescent, or adult is thinking, feeling, learning, and behaving. They are commonly used to identify autism, ADHD, intellectual disability, and learning differences such as dyslexia, dyscalculia, and dysgraphia, as well as anxiety, mood, social and behavioural concerns.

We can also prepare assessments to support applications for VCAA Special Examination Arrangements, the Program for Students with Disabilities, NCCD, NDIS, and the Centrelink Disability Support Pension.

The number and length of sessions is tailored to the person and the type of assessment. Every assessment includes an intake and a feedback session, and you receive a comprehensive written report (and any questionnaires used) at no extra cost.

What We Assess

Cognitive & Intellectual

IQ and cognitive profile assessments to understand thinking, reasoning, and processing — including identification of intellectual disability or giftedness.

Autism

Comprehensive autism assessments for children, adolescents, and adults using gold-standard tools and developmental history interviews.

ADHD

Multi-source ADHD assessments that consider attention, impulse control, executive function, and how symptoms show up across settings.

Learning Differences

Educational assessments for dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, and broader learning difficulties — with practical recommendations for school and home.

Mood, Anxiety & Behaviour

Targeted assessments to clarify the picture when mood, anxiety, social, or behavioural concerns are getting in the way of daily life.

Reports for Funding & Adjustments

Assessments that meet the requirements of VCAA Special Examination Arrangements, the Program for Students with Disabilities, NCCD, NDIS, and the Centrelink Disability Support Pension.

Assessment Fees

The Australian Psychological Society recommended fee for a standard psychological consultation of 45-60 minutes is $318. The Australian Association of Psychologists Incorporated recommended fee is $330. Level Up Psychology offers a sliding scale of fees based on the experience and qualifications of the clinician you are working with. Fees are charged on the day of appointment.

Assessment sessions run for 50–60 minutes and cost between $395 and $515 per hour, depending on the clinician. In most cases this includes the questionnaires and written report that form part of your assessment.
