Assessment: Fees & Referral Information
Emma’s specialises in psychological assessments – working with children, adolescents and adults to help them understand themselves, and providing diagnoses to assist them to access support.
Conducting an assessment can involve a number of sessions, as well as some highly specialised and nuanced testing. Assessment rates are inclusive of everything – from initial consultation to the provision of the final report and recommendations.
Assessments
Variations to Assessment Fees
Assessment fees are variable depending on the particular needs of the individual and assessment required. The rates shown are offered as a guide, however if you are unsure what type of assessment would be best for you or your child’s needs, please contact Emma for an individualised quote.
Apointment Deposit
Please note that a deposit of $300.00 is taken at the time of booking to secure session times in Emma’s diary. A session plan and fee schedule will be discussed and provided upon booking. Emma is unable to release reports until the final payment is made.

Assessments can be booked several months in advance if this helps you or your family to prepare accordingly.

Additional Information
Mental Health Treatment Plans & Medicare Guidelines
While Emma welcomes clients who are accessing her services under a Mental Health Treatment Plan, clients are asked to please note that Medicare have strict rules for claiming rebates.
It is the responsibility of the client to ensure that they have an eligible plan in order to claim a rebate. If you have already used some of your sessions on your Mental Health Treatment Plan with another psychologist prior to attending our clinic, please advise our team upon booking.
After using the 10 eligible Medicare-rebated sessions in a calendar year, any further sessions will be charged at the Standard rate.
Medicare Rebates
Emma sets her fees as low as possible for all clients, however some of her services do not meet the criteria for eligibility with regard to Medicare rebates. Please note:
- Medicare rebates are not available for ADHD or learning assessments.
- Medicare rebates are available for Autism assessments if a referral is gained from a paediatrician or psychiatrist (not from a GP).
- Private health rebates may apply depending on your health fund. Quote item number ‘200’ when enquiring with them directly.
For reduced-fee assessment options, public services are available for children in South Australia through the Child Development Unit, and Autism SA. Waitlists typically apply.
NDIS
Emma is able to accept funding through self-managed NDIS clients for assessments.
Self-managed NDIS funding for therapy will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
