We provide ADHD assessments in Perth, in person at our West Perth practice or online via telehealth across Western Australia. An ADHD assessment is a comprehensive evaluation of attention, executive functioning, impulsivity, emotional regulation, and related patterns — giving a clearer picture of how ADHD shows up in everyday life.

Many adults seek an assessment after years of feeling overwhelmed, distracted, burnt out, or misunderstood — particularly professionals whose symptoms have been masked or missed. A formal diagnosis can bring clarity, validation, and a deeper understanding of long-standing challenges, and for many people that understanding significantly reduces shame and self-criticism.

A psychologist can help distinguish what may be ADHD-related from what might stem from other concerns — valuable, because many symptoms overlap. Our process is compassionate, evidence-based, and tailored to you: we take time to understand the full picture, including your strengths, challenges, developmental history, and day-to-day functioning. Once complete, your assessing psychologist explains whether you meet the criteria for an ADHD diagnosis, with clinical observations and recommendations included in a comprehensive report.

A note on referrals & rebates

You don't need a GP referral for an ADHD assessment. If you have one, forward it to reception before your appointment — some parts of the process may be eligible for Medicare rebates.
