Frequently asked questions
Can I claim a Medicare rebate for a psychological assessment?
Medicare rebates are only available for people under the age of 25 years. This only applies to autism assessments. To apply for a rebate, we will require a referral letter from your GP or another medical practitioner such as a pediatrician or a child and adolescent psychiatrist.
I have NDIS, will I be able to claim the cost of the assessment through my plan?
Yes, but it depends on your plan. If you have a managed plan, please discuss it with your plan manager and you will need to confirm this with us at the time of booking whether you wish to claim the cost of the autism assessment with NDIS.
How long will the assessment take?
The interview can vary, and it depends on your needs. It can usually take between 1.5 – 2 hours. If a family member/friend/relative is involved in the process it may include additional interview time.
This however can vary as every person is unique in the type of assessment they require. Please let us know prior to the assessment whether you would like a family member or other informant interviewed as part of the assessment.
To make the assessment comfortable for you, please let us know if you have additional needs or preferences prior to the assessment.
