Psychological testing can provide useful information to help understand concerns, identify possible underlying issues, and support diagnosis and treatment planning.
Psychologists use the information gathered from assessment which may include tests, interviews, and background information to develop an overall understanding of the person being assessed. Tests are only one element of a comprehensive psychological assessment.
All tests are administered, scored, and interpreted by registered psychologists. They may be conducted face-to-face or online, depending on the type of assessment.
How do they work?
Our assessments include:
- Three or more 50-minute clinical consultations, depending on area of complexity
- Administration of specific psychological tests
- Scoring of measures and a written interpretative report
During the consultations, you may be asked about relevant personal, family, and educational history. At the end of the process, you will receive a written report outlining your test results and possible recommendations.
For some assessments, your psychologist may recommend medical screening via your GP or psychiatrist for further diagnostic information.
Medicare does not provide rebates for psychological testing and assessments.

What do psychological tests tell you?
Some people feel nervous about taking psychological tests, while others are curious about the process. These assessments can provide structured information about areas such as cognitive abilities, personality traits, learning difficulties, and possible indicators of conditions such as autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, or memory impairment.
For individuals, testing can help identify strengths and areas for development, and may suggest strategies for learning, working, or interacting more effectively with others.
For psychologists, test results are one source of information used alongside interviews, history, and other assessment methods to help identify areas that may benefit from further attention or support, and to inform treatment planning.
Psychological tests are developed through a process of research and standardisation to provide reliable and valid information about aspects of cognitive and emotional functioning in children and adults. They form part of a broader assessment and are not, on their own, diagnostic.
