Frequently asked questions about ADHD assessments

No. Children, adolescents and adults can generally contact Redefini Therapies directly to enquire about an ADHD assessment. However, a valid referral may be required if you wish to claim an eligible Medicare rebate. Please contact Redefini before booking so our team can explain which referral, rebate and attendance requirements may apply to your circumstances.
An ADHD assessment at Redefini Therapies is tailored to the client’s age, circumstances and presenting concerns. It may include a clinical and developmental interview, review of relevant previous reports, standardised questionnaires, information from parents, caregivers, teachers, partners or other relevant people, and appropriate psychometric measures. The fee also includes scoring, interpretation, report preparation and a feedback session.
The timing varies according to the client’s needs, the assessments required and how quickly questionnaires and supporting information are returned. Redefini currently advises that the period from the initial interview to the completed report is approximately 6–12 weeks in many cases, but this is only a guide and cannot be guaranteed. Our team will keep you informed throughout the process.
