Assessments can take place either face-to-face in Moonee ponds, Victoria, or via videoconferencing. This allows accessibility for those located all across Australia.

Pre-assessment: Once you book in for an assessment you will be sent a confirmation email and shortly after an intake form to complete in preparation for your first session.

Clinical Interview: 2 x 90 minute sessions which involve a collaborative exploration of your life.

Questionnaires: In between sessions, you will be emailed links to a few online questionnaires. This may involve questionnaires for a chosen person in your life.

Feedback session: This 50 minute session will take place approximately 1 - 2 weeks after your assessment. During this session you will discuss the assessment outcome and any recommendations.

Final report: You will receive a report via email approximately 4 - 6 weeks post the feedback session.

You are more than welcome to bring a support person along to any part of the assessment and feedback process.

Please note, Ashlee is not able to offer a comprehensive cognitive assessment (i.e. assessment around cognitive capacity, intellectual disability and specific learning disabilities).

If wanting to book a combined Autism/ADHD assessment, please note that many psychiatrists now complete their own ADHD assessment before prescribing medication, regardless of whether it has been diagnosed by a psychologist previously. Because of this, Ashlee recommends that if you’re considering medication upon diagnosis, it may be more efficient to complete the ADHD assessment directly with a psychiatrist.

Unfortunately at this time Medicare does not provide rebates for assessments. This means you cannot use a Mental Health Care Plan or Chronic Disease Management Plan for assessment sessions

The first step is to book an initial appointment. Future sessions will be made during this appointment.

All appointments are made via an online booking system.

You will receive an invoice via email for payment after each assessment session. Feedback cannot occur and reports can not be released until all fees have been paid.
