Psychometric Testing

Please do not hesitate to speak to your therapist, our friendly reception staff, or contact us on 9579 2480 if you wish to make an appointment or obtain further information about this service. 

Alternatively, please complete and send as an instant enquiry on our contact page.

Payment plans are available for all testing procedures. Clients may elect to pay instalments across a one to two month period. Reports will not be released prior to receipt of full payment, unless the client has signed a credit card payment form authorising Southside Health & Wellbeing to process future payment instalments. 

A Medicare rebate may be available for clients referred by their GP, psychiatrist or paediatrician for the initial screening assessment only, and for any psychological therapy services provided after the assessment is completed. 

Medicare does not currently provide rebates for psychometric assessment of IQ, academic performance, or attentional difficulties. 

A medicare rebate scheme is available for the Autism Spectrum assessment (for individuals under 25 years). To obtain a Medicare rebate for the purpose of assistance with diagnosis or to contribute to the treatment and management plan for a Complex Neurodevelopmental Disorder such as Autism, a referral must be made by a paediatrician or psychiatrist. You can claim approximately $89.65 per session, across a maximum of four assessment sessions if the referred person is under the age of 25. 

Rebates may be available for clients with “extras cover”. Clients are advised to check with their fund. Our HICAPS facility allows you to use the rebate at the time of the appointment. Each assessment session and parent feedback session will be billed individually. Each session may be eligible for a private health fund rebate.
