Assessments Available
Austism Spectrum Disorder
An assessment can help explain longstanding differences in social communication, sensory sensitivities, routines, or focused interests.
For many people, having a clear explanation is validating and reduces confusion or self-blame. ASD assessments are conducted using the MIGDAS and/or ADOS-2, supplemented with a comprehensive intake process, functional assessment of adaptive behaviour, and other standardised informant reports from family/caregivers/schools as appropriate.
For adults (18years +) telehealth is optional.
For children, in person assessment only.
Intellectual Disability
Intellectual abilities and adaptive functioning can be assessed to determine whether there is an underlying intellectual disability. This can aid in NDIS access and/or school support or workplace adjustments.
In person assessment only.
Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder
Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder
Referral from medical doctor required e.g. your paediatrician or psychiatrist. An assessment for FASD is a comprehensive, multidisciplinary process. It requires confirmation of alcohol exposure and evaluation of neurodevelopmental functioning across multiple domains (e.g., memory, attention, executive functioning). Assessment with a speech pathologist, physiotherapist, and/or OT may also be required to evaluate motor and communication domains.
Diagnosis must be confirmed by a doctor. A psychological assessment and report provided can support NDIS access and/or school/occupational support.
In person assessment only.
Specific Learning Disorder
Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder
Learning can be assessed to diagnose dyslexia, dyscalculia, or dysgraphia. This can aid with receiving school supports and individualised learning strategies.
In person assessment only.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
ADHD symptoms can overlap with anxiety, depression, trauma, sleep difficulties, or learning disorders. A comprehensive assessment helps differentiate ADHD from other conditions and identify co-occurring presentations. Diagnosis can guide tailored recommendations. Please note a clinical psychologist cannot prescribe medication.
For adults (18years +) telehealth is optional.
For children, in person assessment only.
Giftedness
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
Assessment can support placement in gifted programs, guide subject selection, and recommend appropriate challenges to prevent boredom or disengagement.
In person assessment only.
Pre-bariatric Surgery Assessment
Billie has experience working with eating disorders in a specialist clinic for the public health service in inpatient and outpatient settings. She offers pre-bariatric surgery assessment to screen for conditions such as binge eating disorder, bulimia nervosa, or other disordered eating behaviours to identify factors that may impact post-surgical outcomes. Surgery changes stomach size — but it does not automatically change eating behaviours. Problematic patterns may persist or re-emerge. Assessment can identify modifiable factors and strategies to optimise outcomes.
