Questions about this assessment
What does the assessment measure?
General intellectual ability, and a profile of cognitive strengths and weaknesses.
Do we need a GP referral?
No. Parents can contact Psychology House directly. Your child does not need a referral from a GP or any other professional. Referrals are also accepted from school personnel, GPs, school psychologists, psychiatrists, paediatricians, speech pathologists, occupational therapists and other allied health professionals.
Does Medicare cover it?
Psychoeducational assessments are not covered by Medicare, even with a GP mental health plan, because those plans cover mental health care and counselling only. Some private health insurers cover parts of the process, depending on the insurer and your level of cover, so please check with your provider before booking.
How long does it take?
Exact timeframes depend on the assessment required and your child’s age, and an estimate is provided once your child’s needs have been discussed. The written report generally takes approximately 3-4 weeks once the assessment is completed.
