Moore Psychology provides ADHD assessments for people aged 7 through adulthood.  The specific components of each assessment vary depending on the person's age, developmental history, and referral question.

​

A comprehensive ADHD assessment evaluates attention, executive functioning, developmental history, and possible co-occurring conditions that may affect learning, work, or daily functioning.

 

Assessment Process

​​ADHD assessments are completed over multiple stages and may include:

​

• Standardised questionnaires assessing attention, behaviour, wellbeing, and mental health
• Clinical interviews with the client (and parents/caregivers where relevant) conducted via telepsychology
• Review of developmental history, school reports, and previous assessments where available
• Cognitive and/or academic assessment (when relevant to the referral question) to investigate possible co-occurring learning difficulties
• Integration of assessment findings and preparation of a comprehensive written report
• A feedback session to discuss results and recommendations

​

Not every assessment requires all components. The assessment process is tailored to the individual's needs and referral question.

​

Costs & Payment

​The cost of an ADHD assessment depends on the components required for a comprehensive evaluation.

​

The process typically begins with an intake consultation ($260) where your concerns, history, and goals for assessment are discussed. After this appointment, a written quote outlining the recommended assessment process can be provided upon request.

​

As a general guide, adult ADHD assessments are often around $2,500, depending on the complexity of the evaluation.

​

Payment is required at different stages throughout the assessment process.​

​

Medicare Rebates

For individuals under 25, Medicare rebates may be available for parts of the assessment.

​

A valid referral from a paediatrician or psychiatrist is required to access Medicare rebates for ADHD assessments.

Medication Access

​A psychological ADHD assessment provides a comprehensive evaluation of ADHD traits and related challenges, but it is separate from the medication prescribing process.

​

Medication for ADHD can only be prescribed by medical practitioners, such as psychiatrists, paediatricians, or in some cases specially trained GPs depending on local regulatory arrangements.

​

Prescribing clinicians may complete their own clinical assessment before making decisions about medication and may repeat parts of the evaluation if required.

​

If medication is a priority, speaking with your GP about referral options to a prescribing clinician is recommended.
